The new conference will start in the 2013-14 academic year.

The new league should is have Southern Miss, Marshall, East Carolina, UAB, Tulsa, Rice, UTEP and Tulane from C-USA and Wyoming, Air Force, Colorado State, UNLV, New Mexico, Fresno State, Nevada and Hawaii from the MWC. Hawaii would be a football-only member, making a 15-team all-sports conference and a 16-team football conference.

CBS Sports also is reporting that Temple could move over to make a 16-team football league since they got jobbed from the Big East expansion last week...
