So why isn't anyone jumping on this Sun Beast Conference idea?

TEAMS: The remaining members of the Big East plus all current members of the Sun Belt Conference, as detailed below.
UConn
Louisville
West Virginia
Cincinnati
South Florida
Rutgers
Arkansas State
Middle Tennessee State
Troy
University of Louisiana-Lafayette
University of Louisiana-Monroe
Florida International
Western Kentucky
University of North Texas
Florida Atlantic University
Further membership may be considered, but we draw the line at a 24 team conference. Anything more than that would be excessive, and we are not targeting the SUNBEAST as an orphanage for wayward football programs. (A foster home perhaps, but not an orphanage.)
DIVISIONS. As a trendsetter in its field, the SUNBEAST will be divided not into two uneven divisions, but instead into THREE equal divisions of five teams a piece.
THE SUNFISH DIVISION: Florida Atlantic, Florida International, South Florida, Universities Monroe and Lafayette from Louisiana.
THE SUNBEAR DIVISION: University of North Texas, Western Kentucky, Troy, Arkansas State, Middle Tennessee State.
THE SUNLAMP DIVISION: Louisville, UConn, West Virginia, Rutgers, Cincinnati.
The divisions are regionally themed, and tap into resonant market specificities: the maritime/fishing themes for the Florida/Louisiana divisions, the rural/rugged connotations of the SunBear divisions, and the need for sunlight and Vitamin D from the Sunlamp division.

Crazy, crazy, but I halfway like this idea (with some reasonable modifications).

Grouping average teams together in a conference doesn't make them any better.

Don't tell the Big 12-2-1+1(-1). That's the only way they can survive.

West Virginia and Cincinnati would never go for that. They might both end up in the Big 12 when it all said and done.
