…QUIT WITH THE old and tired…and GO with what i say/(propose)!
That conference would logically take the AAC name, as it would truly be a national conference which contains all three service academies. Four divisions (for scheduling purposes) of 7 schools each.
Pacific: Boise St, Washington St, Oregon St, Fresno St, SDSU, San Jose St, Hawaii*
Mountain: Air Force, Utah St, Wyoming, Nevada, UNLV, Colorado St, New Mexico
Central: Memphis, Tulane, Navy*, Tulsa, UTSA, North Texas, Rice
East: Army*, UAB, FAU, East Carolina, USF**, Temple, Charlotte
* football only
** If the ACC loses FSU and Clemson to the ACC, they backfill with USF. This new AAC backfills with James Madison.
The Pacific and Mountain could function as a conference for other sports, and the Central and East could do the same.

The next step would be for the B12 and ACC to merge creating four 8-team divisions:
Utah, Arizona St, Cal, SMU, BYU, Arizona, Stanford, Colorado
Kansas St, Oklahoma St, Iowa St, TCU, Baylor, Texas Tech, Houston, Kansas
UCF, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Pitt, Louisville, Syracuse, Boston College, USF*
NC State, Miami, Wake Forest, UNC, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Duke, Georgia Tech
The divisions could function as separate conferences for all other sports.
