This will be an update of a previous thread I had posted. This cycle of D1 (including FCS) conference realignment is considered to have started in 2021 so it will include all changes in conference affiliation since then and any that are planned for the near future. This post will be football only, a comment below will have changes for basketball
NOTE: The Ohio Valley Conference and Big South Conference recently announced that they will be combining for football only in 2023, though no other plans have been revealed. They will be listed separately here for now.
*-Team has joined and since left this conference during the realignment process
"-Team has left and since re-joined this conference during the realignment process
^-UTRGV will be fielding a football team by 2024
