The Sun Belt Conference will revoke the membership of Idaho and New Mexico State and become a 10-team league following the 2017 season. Both schools argued passionately to stay, but the conference rejected the pitches. What's next? New Mexico State is expected to stay at the sport's highest level, as an independent if need be. The Vandals, meanwhile, are probably looking at a tumble to the FCS level and accepting the Big Sky conference's invitation unless they're bailed out by another FBS conference. The SBC, meanwhile, is adding Coastal Carolina in 2017 to get to 10.
