Splitting up Troy/South and MT/WKU would be a bad idea. The rivalries are there and splitting us up would ruin that. The only option I see is add a non-football member in the east rather than UTA.

They'd be my top choice. But apparently, they're not interested in moving basketball for the sake of football.

Even if the Sun Belt would consider going to 16, why add a non-football and never-gonna-get-football program like Oral Roberts, as opposed to a school that already has the sport like Lamar? Your proposed line-up would yield 13 members with football and 3 others without football.

In football have a 9 game schedule. 5 games in division, 4 games out of division. Keeps main rivalries in division, and playing everyone so frequently will help build new rivalries.

In basketball have a 16 game schedule, play everyone once, that's 13 games. Then have designated rivals you play every season - ex MTSU v WKU, TXST v UTA, ASU v UALR, UL v ULM, Troy v USA, GSU v GSU, App v FAU. That's 14 games. You rotate though the rest every year, so you're always playing 2 new teams twice.
