JFK assassination, 9/11, COVID-19. Those once-in-a-generation "where were you when..." moments. It just happened - the CFB Chronicle Youtube guy solved realignment.

And CFBC thinks UCA, UTC, and Liberty will be added just so you can get to 14? Hahahahahahahaha.
Most of that surely has to do with outliers FIU/FAU being grouped with current SB East schools and UTEP being grouped with SB West schools.

One of the three call-ups is....
Central Arkansas
They have a pretty decent football program, 33rd ranking RPI in the NCAA last year is nothing to laugh at ... but I see the confusion, since in America that kind of football is sometimes called "soccer".
Someone tell him the Football Bowl Subdivision is about playing American football.
UCA didn't do too badly in American football last season. They were ranked as high as #7 in the FCS poll finishing the season with a 9-3 record. They are about 30 miles out of Little Rock so they are not in the boonies. At 10,000 seat capacity, the stadium would need an expansion, but it is a little bigger than Coastal Carolina's was when the Chants received an invitation to the Sun Belt. One of their wins was an away game against an FBS team which ended their season at 9-4, defeated a P5 team, and went to a bowl.
War Memorial stadium in little rock is much more likely to be their home. The state legislature has been trying to find more and better uses. Probably closer to their alumni base as well for numbers. They could maybe pull it off. Although I think UA-Litttle Rock would be a better go.
I'm not so sure that would work out too well. UConn's stadium in Hartford, well away from its campus in Storrs, has not lended itself well for attendance. I suppose one could argue that UCLA has done fine at the Rose Bowl, away from the Westwood campus, but that's apples-to-oranges. UCA is not UCLA.
There's a L of a difference.
