Another wave of NCAA conference realignment is upon us, and college sports fans have begun readying themselves for major changes across the Division I college basketball conference landscape as they have known it.
While realignment in college sports has largely been centered around the earth-shaking moves to come in college football, men's and women's college basketball have hardly been immune to imminent change. Of college basketball's 32 Division I conferences, 18 have pending membership changes on the horizon. The biggest moves -- all driven by football -- will occur in the Big 12, SEC, AAC, Conference USA and the Sun Belt, but frequent multibid basketball conferences including the Atlantic 10, Missouri Valley and WCC will also be undergoing alterations to their footprints.
