The Blitz: Realignment talk dominates FCS media days; Rams sign former Texas A&M-Commerce QB

The main topic at each FCS conference media day last week centered around realignment. Shocking, right? However, realignment has been the main discussion since the “Texas Four” departed the Southland for the WAC before last season. I would argue that this realignment began with Tarleton’s move from the Lone Star Conference to the WAC in 2020 and Utah Tech (formerly Dixie State) leaving the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference for the WAC.

Over the last month, the landscape has changed drastically for the WAC and the Southland. First, UIW decided to forego a move to the WAC from the Southland, and Lamar followed by moving back to the Southland a year early.
