Huh interesting. Never thought we wouldn';t but it is interesting. I was hearing on other boards that you need x amount of teams that have been together for x amount of years to retain the autobid. I guess USF Uconn Lville and Cinci fit that bill for this year.

It doesn't matter. The league will earn multiple bids.

Article explains that the AAC has the Big East's bid. The new Big East is the new league, and it needs to meet that criteria of X teams playing together for X years. I think the C-7 do meet that criteria (I think it is 6 teams for 3 years), so that league will get a bid as well.

The x number of teams must be together for x years requirement no longer exists.

That about sums up my feelings on conference realignment.
