*Q: if it matters for the conference, why doesn't it matter for divisions?

If being contiguous doesn't matter, go after Texas!

Why stop there? I say we move on Cuba.

As a distraction, we can send our western flank (Kentucky and Indiana divisions) down through Tennessee, Alabama, and part of Mississippi and engage the SEC in southern LA in "the battle for new orleans." Also, the northern flank (PA, NY, and MA divisions) can push through Canada and suprise attack the B1G in "the battle for detroit."

Meanwhile, we make our real move and send the southern flank (VA, NC, SC, GA, and FL divisions) into Cuba via the Bahamas. That should give us a presence south of the SEC, which will box them in. Our northern push through Canada will also box in the B1G to the north.

Even if the B1G beats us back to Canada in the North and the SEC beats our western division back to the southern territory in the south, then we are in no real danger of losing the the eastern parts of our conference. We should have forces in the north and the south and mountains in the middle. Indiana and Kentucky would be on their own, but they're scrappy and could hold out for long enough for the southern forces to reinforce their positions. I have absolute faith in them.
