Majority of the D2 conferences are huge. Nothing out of the ordinary.

20 is the largest. I have a list of every D-I, D-II, D-III, NAIA conf. 16 is normal for D-II, 20 isn't. PSAC was the largest at 18. Crazy big, and I was at Fresno St. during the WAC 16 mega conference.

Mid-South Conference have 21 schools for football with Keiser joining this year. Allen University who also added football in the future would make it 22. They could get bigger if they grab Lyon, and possible with some of the southeastern schools that have been thinking of adding football, could bring them up close to 30 football schools.
Brewton-Parker
Middle Georgia State
William Carey
University of Rio Grande
Georgia Gwinnett
Florida Memorial
St. Thomas Florida
Talladega
Those were schools that had newspaper articles in the past 10 years talking about football. Not sure who else would add football, but Mid-South is the largest conference for 1 sport right now in football.
