Yesterday, Navy officially joined the American Athletic Conference. The Charlotte 49ers joined the FBS ranks in Conference USA and, in the Sun Belt, Appalachian State and Georgia Southern became bowl elligible after their moves up from the FCS.
These were some of the last aftershocks of the great conference quake from five years ago. You know, the one that gave us Texas A&M and Missouri in the SEC. The one that sent Colorado and Utah to the PAC-12 and sent Nebraska to the B1G. The one that moved Big East teams Louisville and West Virginia into other top conferences, but left Cincinnati and Connecticut behind.
