there's been a lot of talk about conference realignments, teams moving up to FBS, and speculation of other teams moving to other conferences. Can someone please tell me who is moving where and when and why?

UTSA and Texas St will be independent next year, moving to the WAC in 2012 (if it exists).

URI moving to NEC in 2013, to save money, I presume.

Cal Poly, UC Davis, Southern Utah, North Dakota moving to Big Sky in 2012 (or 2013, I forget).

South Dakota to MVC in 2012 (or 2013, I forget).

ODU to CAA next year.

Savannah St to MEAC next year.

I think that might be it. But maybe not.

UMass moving to the MAC, probably?

NCCU will also be full MEAC members as well.

UMass (maybe?) to the MAC in 2013

Yeah, I didn't include NCCU, as they were members this year, even though they didn't play a whole MEAC schedule.

I believe I read that if Villanova accepts the Big East invite (announcement now due in April), they would still play a CAA slate in 2011, then go transitional in 2012.

2012. Although they will play as many games possible against current BSC in 2011.
