It includes the timeline that each conference has sponsored football, then we show the number of football seasons each conference will celebrate in 2017. Next are all of the current football members and how many seasons this will make as far as football competition goes, during the upcoming 2017 season. Finally, we list all of the former football members, with the seasons they competed in each conference. The American Athletic Conference was known as the Big East Conference through 2012 when it was renamed. A new charter was not drawn up, thus the American is not a new league, just renamed. As a point of interest, seven schools (Michigan from the Big Ten, Northern Illinois from the MAC, Marshall from the MAC, Temple from the American, Idaho from the Sun Belt, New Mexico State from the Sun Belt and UAB from Conference USA) actually have two stints of membership in those particular conferences. There will be 6 Independents this season. Army, Brigham Young, Idaho, New Mexico State, Navy and Notre Dame. FYI, the NCAA Division I FBS will have 130 members in 2017. Idaho will drop down to the FCS level in 2018 but Liberty will move up to FBS. HOW TO READ THIS LIST.

I. Introduction: The Freedom To Contract Is A Public Good. Vigorous competition underlies much of what we value as a society, forming the foundation of our economic and political system. It is a principle the parties to this action are intimately familiar with - they compete in lecture halls and laboratories, on their playing fields, to recruit new students and faculty members, to establish alumni bragging rights, and for public and private funds. Underlying competition are the freedoms to contract and to freely associate, and fundamental to those freedoms are the abilities to both join and leave the voluntary relationships so created. These principles inure to the benefit of us all, helping to create a dynamic society whose members are motivated to strive for the best, and the Attorney General of Florida has intervened in support of the jurisdictional motions to dismiss because of his concern that Plaintiffs’ action could cause long-term harm to these principles.
