Mid-South Conference Football Merger In NAIA = Mega Conference
http://columbiadailyherald.com/sports/co...-expanding

This conference could be watched closely by the P5 conference to see how this set up works. The mega conference will begin in 2017. There are 20 teams broken down to 3 divisions.

The three divisions are called Bluegrass, Appalachian and Sun.

Bluegrass: Bethel-Tenn., Campbellsville, Cumberland, Cincinnati Christian (2016 1st year this year for football), Georgetown KY, Kentucky Christian, Lindsey Wilson

Appalachian: Bluefield, Cumberlands, Point, Pikeville, Reinhardt, St. Andrews (NC) (starts football in 2017 and drops down from NCAA D2), Union (KY)

Sun: Ave Maria, Edward Waters, Faulkner, Southeastern, Warner and Webber International.

When they have news articles about Point, Paine, Southeastern and others thinking about adding football or to start football, the other schools in these conferences could also look into adding football.

Brewton-Parker
Florida Memorial
South Carolina-Beaufort (slight chance)
Savannah College of Art and Design (very low chance)

They might bring Concordia Alabama (football only agreement with the NCAA, and Stillman if they get their money back together to sponsor sports again. That would be like 26. They could look at others within the footprint as well.

Winner of each division gets an auto bid to the NAIA playoffs.

Now, if they can pull this off successfully? Who can stop the P5 conferences do the exact same thing? 4 Conferences of 24 at the FBS level for the P5 knocking them down to 4?

RE: Mid-South Conference Football Merger In NAIA = Mega Conference
Okay. I went back and look and found more schools that are thinking of adding football or students asking for it.

Georgia Gwinnett
Talladega College
Rio Grande in Ohio
Middle Georgia State (should be turning their club team into a varsity team soon. Was known as Macon State before the merger.)
William Carey

This conference could go to 31 team conference.

Georgetown and Cumberlands both have been invited to the D2 GMAC. It depends if and when D2 accepts them.

I posted this here what a super conference would look like if the Big 10 decides to go to 20 to 24 teams. This could be a reference when that day comes.
