  41. <p>COVID-19, the global pandemic disrupted the supply chain procurement as well as it vulnerabilities. The travel restrictions, border closures, and widespread lockdowns have created a lot of disruptions, resulting in shortages of raw materials, customer goods, and medical supplies.</p>
  42.  
  43.  
  44.  
  45. <p>The global pandemic also highlights the significance of supply chain resiliency as well as the need for business organizations to rethink their approaches post-pandemic. In the post-pandemic world, resiliency will be more crucial than before. So, according to experts at&nbsp;<a href="https://gibsonconsulting.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gibson Consulting</a>, business organizations must invest in creating a resilient supply chain capable of withstanding future disruptions.</p>

  49. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Understanding Procurement Risks</h2>
  50.  
  51.  
  52.  
  53. <p>Understanding risks in the procurement steps is crucial. These risks are found in different phases when buying goods. From planning &amp; sourcing to delivery and contract management, every phase presents its share of challenges. These risks include the following:</p>
  54.  
  55.  
  56.  
  57. <ul>
  58. <li>Operational risks: Inefficiency in the procurement processes, underperforming suppliers, and lack of transparency pose operational risks. These risks may result in compromised service/product quality, increased risks, and project delays if left unaddressed.</li>
  59.  
  60.  
  61.  
  62. <li>Regulatory risks: The regulatory landscape that governs procurement is ever-developing, and non-compliance may lead to serious consequences. Becoming vigilant is crucial for supply chain procurement experts to adjust processes and keep up with rules and regulations.</li>
  63.  
  64.  
  65.  
  66. <li>Market risks: The supply chain is inherently affected by market conditions. Geopolitical events, fluctuating commodity costs, and economic uncertainties can affect the availability and cost of services/goods. The agility of navigating market risks is the hallmark of effectively managing procurement risks. Procurement professionals should use effective strategies to protect against unforeseen financial problems, adapt to various market changes, and secure great deals.</li>
  67.  
  68.  
  69.  
  70. <li>Supply chain risks: Different factors, like supplier issues, geopolitical tensions, and natural disasters can affect supply chains. An issue in the procurement can cause higher costs and delays.</li>
  71. </ul>
  72.  
  73.  
  74.  
  75. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Social Responsibility and Sustainability</h2>
  76.  
  77.  
  78.  
  79. <p>Many business organizations prioritize a green economy and sustainability in their recovery plans. Customers also pay more attention to what business organizations do to support communities and prepare for post-pandemic life.</p>
  80.  
  81.  
  82.  
  83. <p>This, ideally, is the reality that business organizations will embrace and anticipate. And at the same, supply chain procurement needs to have procurement as the key criteria in every decision that you take.</p>
  84.  
  85.  
  86.  
  87. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Procurement Trends in Post-Pandemic</h2>
  88.  
  89.  
  90.  
  91. <p>As with many industries, the supply chain was hit very hard as its professionals tried to navigate the new norm that COVID-19 imposed. Complex logistics issues, disrupted supply chains, and new border controls for revised working practices are among the challenges that procurement teams and consultants face.</p>
  92.  
  93.  
  94.  
  95. <p>However, all isn’t lost. You will find many positive stories of supply chain procurement being the game-changer and a hero. Some of the trends you see in the post-pandemic world include increased collaboration. Rather than packing and looking for alternatives to meet changing demands, you see clients with existing supply chains so as to re-negotiate and have win-win contracts mutually. Other trends you will see include:</p>
  96.  
  97.  
  98.  
  99. <ul>
  100. <li>Leveraging digital technology</li>
  101.  
  102.  
  103.  
  104. <li>Shapeshifting</li>
  105.  
  106.  
  107.  
  108. <li>Giving procurement a bigger seat</li>
  109.  
  110.  
  111.  
  112. <li>Embracing flexible resources</li>
  113. </ul>
  114.  
  115.  
  116.  
  117. <p>In the post-pandemic world, you will see that more than 65% of executives say that COVID-19 has made supply chain procurement more resilient. Accordingly, business organizations must design supply chain organizations that fit the autonomous-focused and new digital era.</p>

  138.  
  139.  
  140.  
  141. <ul>
  142. <li><strong>Phone use&nbsp;</strong></li>
  143. </ul>
  144.  
  145.  
  146.  
  147. <p>This is the most prevalent type of distracted driving. Talking, texting, or simply looking at your phone can divert your attention away from the road for an unsafe period.</p>
  148.  
  149.  
  150.  
  151. <ul>
  152. <li><strong>Eating and drinking&nbsp;</strong></li>
  153. </ul>
  154.  
  155.  
  156.  
  157. <p>Eating and drinking while driving may be unpleasant and distracting. It can also remove your hands from the steering wheel, which is required for safe driving.</p>
  158.  
  159.  
  160.  
  161. <ul>
  162. <li><strong>Adjusting the radio or climate controls&nbsp;</strong></li>
  163. </ul>
  164.  
  165.  
  166.  
  167. <p>Fiddling with the radio or climate controls can divert your focus from the road, even if just for a few seconds.</p>
  168.  
  169.  
  170.  
  171. <ul>
  172. <li><strong>Talking to passengers&nbsp;</strong></li>

  183. </ul>

  195. <ul>
  196. <li><strong>Put your phone away&nbsp;</strong></li>
  197. </ul>
  198.  
  199.  
  200.  
  201. <p>The easiest method to eliminate phone-related distractions is to keep your phone in a location where you cannot get it while driving. This may include storing it in the glove compartment or trunk or utilizing a phone mount that blocks notifications and calls while driving.</p>
  202.  
  203.  
  204.  
  205. <ul>
  206. <li><strong>Plan your meals and drinks.&nbsp;</strong></li>
  207. </ul>
  208.  
  209.

  212.  
  213.  
  214.  
  215. <ul>
  216. <li><strong>Use voice controls&nbsp;</strong></li>
  217. </ul>
  218.  
  219.  
  220.

  222.  
  223.  
  224.  
  225. <ul>
  226. <li><strong>Keep conversations short and focused.&nbsp;</strong></li>
  227. </ul>
  228.  
  229.  
  230.

  233.  
  234.  
  235. <ul>
  236. <li><strong>Focus on the road.&nbsp;</strong></li>
  237. </ul>
  238.  
  239.  
  240.  
  241. <p>It may appear simple, but the most crucial technique for avoiding distracted driving is to just focus on the road. Be alert of your surroundings and anticipate what other drivers may do.</p>
  242.  
  243.  
  244.  
  245. <ul>
  246. <li><strong>Optimize your route&nbsp;</strong></li>
  247. </ul>
  248.  
  249.  
  250.  
  251. <p>Use a navigation app before getting behind the wheel to prevent having to fumble with it while driving.</p>
  252.  
  253.  
  254.  
  255. <ul>
  256. <li><strong>Adjust mirrors and settings.&nbsp;</strong></li>
  257. </ul>
  258.  
  259.  
  260.  
  261. <p>To avoid subsequent distractions, adjust your mirrors, seats, temperature, and radio volume before you begin your journey.</p>
  262.  
  263.  
  264.  
  265. <p>Breaking the habit of distracted driving is difficult. Still, it is necessary for your own and others&#8217; safety. By following these guidelines, you can help make our roadways safer for everybody.&nbsp;</p>

  281. <p>As investors, we strive to maximize our returns while minimizing costs.

  282.  
  283.  
  284.  
  285. <p>Service quality and reliability should be given due consideration when comparing demat charges. Opting for a DP with a questionable track record might lead to inconveniences, delays, or additional charges down the line.</p>
  286.  
  287.  
  288.  
  289. <p>Advancements in technology have made online trading platforms increasingly accessible, offering reduced demat charges. These platforms often provide a seamless trading experience and the added benefit of real-time tracking and analysis.</p>
  290.  
  291.  
  292.  
  293. <p>Reading, understanding, and comparing the entire fee structure of depository participants is crucial, beyond just the demat charges. By evaluating the complete fee schedule, you can ensure there are no hidden charges that may impact your overall costs.</p>
  294.  
  295.  
  296.  
  297. <p>It&#8217;s advisable to conduct thorough research, seek professional advice, and consider the overall reputation and reliability of each depository participant before finalizing your choice.</p>
  298.  
  299.  
  300.  
  301. <p><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.upstox.app" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Demat account</a> charges may have been shrouded in mystery, but armed with the information we have unveiled, you can now approach your investment journey with confidence. Understanding demat maintenance charges and transaction charges are essential for managing your costs effectively and maximizing your investment returns.</p>
  302.  
  303.  
  304.  
  305. <p>By periodically reviewing your holdings, comparing fees across different depository participants, and considering your overall investment objectives, you can strike the perfect balance between convenience and cost-effectiveness.</p>
  306.  
  307.  
  308.  
  309. <p>So, as you embark on your investment journey, take a moment to decode the enigma of demat account <a href="https://upstox.com/open-demat-account/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demat charges</a>, and set yourself up for success!</p>

  537. <p>Motorcycle crashes with a car are not uncommon in Georgia. Oftentimes, the most common injuries sustained by motorcycles in car crashes include broken bones and road rash. Riders can also suffer from lung contusions, brain injury, and spinal cord damage. If you find yourself in a <a href="https://www.lawbike.com/motorcycle-claims/motorcycle-accident-with-car/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>motorcycle accident with a car in Georgia</strong></a>, here are some steps to take:</p>
  538.  
  539.  
  540.  
  541. <ol>
  542. <li><strong>Stop your motorcycle, exchange information</strong></li>
  543. </ol>
  544.  
  545.  
  546.  
  547. <p>The first thing you need to do if you get into a crash with a car is to stop your motorcycle. After doing so, make sure that you exchange information with the driver of the automobile you crashed into. This is important because you will need the information later on when filing your insurance claim. You should also gather important information, such as the driver&#8217;s name, their insurance company, and contact numbers.&nbsp;</p>
  548.  
  549.  
  550.  
  551. <ol start="2">
  552. <li><strong>Seek immediate medical care</strong></li>
  553. </ol>
  554.  
  555.  
  556.  
  557. <p>The most important thing to do after a motorcycle crash with a car is to seek immediate medical care. While you may not feel the pain right away, there is always a chance of serious injuries that can lead to future complications and even death. So, be sure that you visit a hospital or doctor&#8217;s office within 24 hours of the incident and get yourself checked out for any wounds or other damages. This way, you will be able to identify any issues right away before they worsen.</p>
  558.  
  559.  
  560.  
  561. <ol start="3">
  562. <li><strong>Report the crash to the police</strong></li>
  563. </ol>
  564.  
  565.  
  566.  
  567. <p>If you were involved in a motorcycle crash with a car, you should always report the incident to police officers. This is crucial for your own safety as it gives you proof that there was an accident and might even lead to insurance claims. You should also try to document the accident scene through photographs or videos as it would help you as evidence later in the case.</p>
  568.  
  569.  
  570.  
  571. <ol start="4">
  572. <li><strong>Consult with a motorcycle accident lawyer</strong></li>
  573. </ol>
  574.  
  575.  
  576.  
  577. <p>If you were injured in a motorcycle crash with a car, you might want to consider consulting with a motorcycle accident lawyer. As a result of the crash, it&#8217;s possible that you incurred heavy medical bills and other costs due to injuries sustained. A lawyer can provide more insight on how you will get compensated for the damages that resulted from the incident. They might also be able to help you explore your legal options and protect your rights as well.</p>

  731. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Aggressive Lane Changes</h2>
  732.  
  733.  
  734.  
  735. <p>These abrupt and reckless maneuvers can result in devastating accidents, endangering the lives of those sharing the road. When a truck driver engages in aggressive lane changes, it often involves swiftly moving from one lane to another without proper signaling. This behavior can startle nearby drivers and create hazardous conditions, especially on busy highways and congested city streets.</p>
  736.  
  737.  
  738.  
  739. <p>According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a 62-year-old resident of Pacific, Missouri, was driving an SUV in a northbound direction on I-270 on Monday. Tragically, the SUV collided with the rear of a stationary tow truck located within a construction zone.</p>
  740.  
  741.  
  742.  
  743. <p>The impact caused the SUV to become airborne and subsequently collide with a tractor-trailer that was also parked in the construction zone. The force of the collision resulted in the SUV overturning.</p>
  744.  
  745.  
  746.  
  747. <p>Emergency services responded to the scene, and the injured driver was transported to a local hospital by ambulance, as his injuries were deemed serious. Fortunately, there were no other reported injuries in the incident. It is noteworthy that both the tow truck and tractor-trailer involved in the crash were unoccupied at the time, as reported by KSDK News.</p>
  748.  
  749.  
  750.  
  751. <p>In unfortunate circumstances like the one described above, it is imperative for individuals affected by negligent truck drivers to consider the assistance of a<a href="https://www.torhoermanlaw.com/st-louis-personal-injury-lawyers/st-louis-truck-accident-lawyer" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> St. Louis truck accident attorney</a>. These legal professionals possess specialized expertise in handling cases specifically related to truck accidents. They offer essential guidance and representation to victims who are seeking rightful compensation and pursuing justice.</p>
  752.  
  753.  
  754.  
  755. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Tailgating and Following Too Closely</h2>
  756.  
  757.  
  758.  
  759. <p>When a truck driver fails to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, it greatly reduces the time and space available to react to sudden changes in traffic conditions. This increases the risk of rear-end collisions.</p>
  760.  
  761.  
  762.  
  763. <p>Trucks require longer stopping distances due to their size and weight. It makes it even more crucial for truck drivers to exercise caution and leave adequate space between their vehicle and the one in front. However, instances of tailgating by truck drivers continue to be a concern on St. Louis roads.</p>
  764.  
  765.  
  766.  
  767. <p>To mitigate the risks associated with tailgating and following too closely, both truck drivers and other motorists need to adhere to following safe distances.</p>
  768.  
  769.  
  770.  
  771. <p>Remember, maintaining a safe distance benefits everyone on the road and contributes to a safer driving environment in St. Louis.</p>
  772.  
  773.  
  774.  
  775. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Failure to Use Turn Signals</h2>
  776.  
  777.  
  778.  
  779. <p>Turn signals are essential for indicating intentions and alerting other motorists of upcoming lane changes or turns. However, some truck drivers neglect to use their signals, creating confusion and potentially leading to accidents.</p>
  780.  
  781.  
  782.  
  783. <p>Nationwide data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reveals the severity of the issue. On average, 8.9 percent of all vehicles involved in fatal crashes are large trucks. In Missouri specifically, the percentage of large trucks involved in fatal crashes in 2020 was<a href="https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813286" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 9.1%</a>.</p>
  784.  
  785.  
  786.  
  787. <p>The consequences of failing to use turn signals can be devastating. Other drivers are unable to anticipate a truck&#8217;s next move, leading to abrupt lane changes, unexpected turns, and potential collisions.</p>
  788.  
  789.  
  790.  
  791. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Running Red Lights</h2>
  792.  
  793.  
  794.  
  795. <p>The consequences of running red lights can be catastrophic, leading to severe accidents and injuries. Unfortunately, this dangerous behavior is not limited to St. Louis alone; it is a nationwide concern.</p>
  796.  
  797.  
  798.  
  799. <p>According to the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, each year, the act of running red lights leads to a significant number of fatalities and injuries. In 2021 alone, crashes involving red-light runners claimed the lives of 1,109 individuals.</p>
  800.  
  801.  
  802.  
  803. <p>Alarmingly, half of the fatalities consisted of pedestrians, bicyclists, and individuals in other vehicles who tragically became victims of the reckless behavior displayed by red-light runners. Additionally, in the same year, approximately<a href="https://www.iihs.org/topics/red-light-running" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 127,000 people</a> suffered injuries as a result of these dangerous incidents.</p>
  804.  
  805.  
  806.  
  807. <p>Truck drivers, due to the size and weight of their vehicles, have an increased responsibility to adhere to traffic signals and exercise caution at intersections.</p>
  808.  
  809.  
  810.  
  811. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Distracted Driving</h2>
  812.  
  813.  
  814.  
  815. <p>Engaging in any activity that diverts attention from the primary task of driving can have dire consequences.</p>
  816.  
  817.  
  818.  
  819. <p>From texting and talking on the phone to eating, grooming, or using in-vehicle technologies, distractions can impair a driver&#8217;s focus and reaction time, significantly increasing the risk of accidents. Truck drivers, who spend long hours on the road, are not immune to the temptation of distractions.</p>
  820.  
  821.  
  822.  
  823. <p>While all drivers need to avoid distractions, the responsibility lies particularly heavy on truck drivers due to the size and weight of their vehicles. The potential consequences of a distracted truck driver can be devastating, given the immense force involved in a truck collision.</p>
  824.  
  825.  
  826.  
  827. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">To Wrap it Up</h2>
  828.  
  829.  
  830.  
  831. <p>Understanding the risks associated with these truck driving maneuvers helps to make informed decisions, adapt driving behavior, and respond effectively when encountering adverse situations. By practicing defensive driving, maintaining patience, and respecting the rules of the road, you can contribute to a safer driving environment for everyone in St. Louis.</p>
  832.  
  833.  
  834.  
  835. <p>Remember, road safety is a shared responsibility. Working together as a team can help create a harmonious driving experience in St. Louis, where every journey is marked by safety, courtesy, and consideration.</p>

  851. <p>With top-notch talents across the country jostling for the limited number of seats available for the UPSC exams, it is prudent to take into consideration all the factors that may be capable of giving a decisive edge in this ultra-competitive exam.</p>
  852.  
  853.  
  854.  
  855. <p>One of them is coaching, particularly UPSC Coaching in Delhi. There are many factors that are taken into consideration when selecting a coaching centre. These factors, although with slight differences, are also used to select the best centres for <a href="https://byjus.com/ias/ias-coaching-delhi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UPSC Coaching in Delhi</a>.</p>
  856.  
  857.  
  858.  
  859. <p>Thus, it is prudent to choose the right UPSC coaching centre. This article will give an insight into how Delhi is one of the right choices for the same.</p>
  860.  
  861.  
  862.  
  863. <p>Do keep in mind that it is not in any way that Delhi is “the” best place for UPSC coaching, but rather, the article will tell why Delhi, in particular, is good. The article will also highlight the factors that go into selecting a good coaching centre.</p>
  864.  
  865.  
  866.  
  867. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">How to Select the Right Place for UPSC Training?</h1>
  868.  
  869.  
  870.  
  871. <p>Before we go any further about selecting the right UPSC Coaching Centre in Delhi, it is better to understand the factors that must be considered when selecting a coaching centre.</p>
  872.  
  873.  
  874.  
  875. <p>Many aspirants who possess effective problem-solving skills and a thorough understanding of base subjects opt for self-study. In training institutes, UPSC experts provide materials, prompt guidance, and moral support to candidates. They also help candidates understand the importance of time management, acquaint them with the right strategies, and get them started with the preparation.</p>
  876.  
  877.  
  878.  
  879. <p>When you join a coaching centre for the UPSC Exam, it is a prerequisite to choose a place where you get trained to meet your needs and your queries answered. Other important criteria for joining a coaching institute during preparation are highlighted below:</p>
  880.  
  881.  
  882.  
  883. <ul>
  884. <li><strong>Identify your requirement</strong>: As a serious aspirant of UPSC, you must be aware of your requirements, positives and negatives, to move ahead with preparation. Choose an institute that matches your subject-specific requirements, whether it be History, Politics, Geography, CSAT, or optional subjects.</li>
  885. </ul>
  886.  
  887.  
  888.  
  889. <ul>
  890. <li>Do background research on the institute and collect feedback from students who have studied there. A thorough understanding of the coaching process before joining the institute can help you avoid any difficulties in future.</li>
  891. </ul>
  892.  
  893.  
  894.  
  895. <ul>
  896. <li><strong>Faculty:</strong> Efficient faculty with a thorough understanding of their respective subject and who can provide personal mentorship are an asset to the organisation and students. At times, we have seen aspirants excel in particular subjects after they received the right guidance. You can also request demo classes from faculty to evaluate the quality of teaching.</li>
  897. </ul>
  898.  
  899.  
  900.  
  901. <ul>
  902. <li><strong>Fee structure and course duration: </strong>An understanding of the course duration and fee structure can make the decision-making process easier and more convenient. Research on the infrastructure, library facilities, and quality resource materials provided by the institute.</li>
  903. </ul>
  904.  
  905.  
  906.  
  907. <ul>
  908. <li>If you are particular about time management, you have to be decisive about the time spent in coaching classes, libraries, mock tests, optional subjects, and self-preparation. If you are thorough with the base subjects, you can choose crash courses or attempt test series.</li>
  909. </ul>
  910.  
  911.  
  912.  
  913. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Choose the Best UPSC Coaching in Delhi?</h2>
  914.  
  915.  
  916.  
  917. <p><strong>1. Student response:</strong> How will you get to know which UPSC coaching in Delhi is good (or bad)? You can get a proper idea by asking the students who have passed out from such institutes or the ones being coached there at present.&nbsp;</p>
  918.  
  919.  
  920.  
  921. <p>Valuable feedback about the quality, facilities available, faculty, etc., can be gathered. This will give an idea about the quality of IAS preparation taking place in the coaching centre, thus allowing candidates to come to a sensible decision.</p>
  922.  
  923.  
  924.  
  925. <p><strong>2. Batch regularity:&nbsp; </strong>Knowing about the timings of the different batches will help a candidate in planning his/her classes as per their convenience. It will also help in knowing whether the coaching classes can be attended at the candidates’ time and convenience.&nbsp;</p>
  926.  
  927.  
  928.  
  929. <p>In fact, knowing beforehand when the UPSC exam takes place will help the candidates immensely. For this purpose, one can visit the <a href="https://byjus.com/free-ias-prep/upsc-calendar-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UPSC Exam Date 2023</a> page and get all the details related to the exam.</p>
  930.  
  931.  
  932.  
  933. <p><strong>3. Background of faculty: </strong>&nbsp;One should note that the faculty members of a UPSC Coaching centre are crucial. Their experience in teaching and how supportive they are in a candidate&#8217;s IAS preparation will help in determining the quality of the coaching institutes. In addition, one must also pay attention to the number of students in a batch. The less, the better &#8211; as the quality of teaching gets affected if the number of students in the batch is high.</p>
  934.  
  935.  
  936.  
  937. <p><strong>4. Make a note of the infrastructure available: </strong>One must take note of the infrastructure offered at an IAS Coaching of one&#8217;s choice. One way of knowing is the number of branches owned by the institute; if there are multiple branches, it indicates that they are proficient in training. Good infrastructure in a coaching institute will be crucial in providing positive vibes and leads to a better learning environment.&nbsp;</p>
  938.  
  939.  
  940.  
  941. <p><strong>5. Fee structure: </strong>Understanding the fee structure in a UPSC Delhi coaching centre is very important. One can observe that the fees will be the same across the country. They should be differentiated on the basis of extra study materials, support systems, discount offers, etc. In addition, students can also check the availability of instalment payment options, if necessary.</p>

  1068. <p>In 2023, the ASUN will have four playoff eligible teams. That number is up from three in 2022. Hopefully, that means some stability in the league. However, the league is still in the process of determining how many auto-bids to award to its teams.</p>
  1069.  
  1070.  
  1071.  
  1072. <p>Currently, there are six ASUN schools with football programs. Bellarmine, Austin Peay, Jacksonville State, Eastern Kentucky, Tarleton State, and University of Arkansas-Montgomery are all in the conference Realignment . They will all play in crossover games to get a feel for what the other schools are doing.</p>
  1073.  
  1074.  
  1075.  
  1076. <p>The first of those crossovers will take place in the fall of 2021. This year, the conference added a men&#8217;s lacrosse team. Eventually, the ASUN will sponsor men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s lacrosse. </p>
  1077.  
  1078.  
  1079.  
  1080. <p>In 2022, the Austin Peay Thunderbirds went 5-6 overall. Despite their success in the ASUN, they failed to earn an FCS playoff berth. Considering that, they were considered a bubble team.</p>
  1081.  
  1082.  
  1083.  
  1084. <p>While they did not receive an auto-bid, Bellarmine did win the ASUN Championship. In addition to their championship, they were also selected as the conference Realignment all-tournament team.</p>
  1085.  
  1086.  
  1087.  
  1088. <p>Meanwhile, the Utah Tech Bears are in the four-year reclassification process. Ultimately, they plan to move to the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision.</p>
  1089.  
  1090.  
  1091.  
  1092. <p>Finally, the Jacksonville State Owls will also join the FBS in 2023. The Jaguars are currently in the ASUN, but they are moving to FBS next season.</p>
  1093.  
  1094.  
  1095.  
  1096. <p>As the realignment wheel moves forward, we will learn more about the potential AQ award, as well as the parameters for joint automatic qualifiers. For now, it&#8217;s likely that a joint league will receive one auto-bid into the FCS playoffs. But, it is possible that both conferences could split anytime between seasons.</p>
  1097.  
  1098.  
  1099.  
  1100. <p>Big 12 to add BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF<br>The Big 12 has made its decision to add four schools, BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF. These schools will join the conference in 2023. However, the actual impact of these additions won&#8217;t be known until 2025.</p>
  1101.  
  1102.  
  1103.  
  1104. <p>While the Big12 may be better positioned than the Big 10, there are still concerns about its position. With the departure of Oklahoma and Texas the conference realignment is losing national prestige. There are fears that Big12 will lose its status as a Power Five conference, which is a mark of national success in sports.</p>
  1105.  
  1106.  
  1107.  
  1108. <p>Big 12 officials formed a subcommittee to determine which schools to invite. It included Memphis, USF , Boise State and other teams that had expressed interest in joining the conference. They decided to add four programs, and all of them were approved by the board of directors on Friday.</p>
  1109.  
  1110.  
  1111.  
  1112. <p>In order to join the Big 12, a school must give a minimum of 27 month notice. If a school wants to leave the conference, it must pay an exit fee of $18M. The Big 12 bylaws also require two years revenue distribution before a school can leave.</p>
  1113.  
  1114.  
  1115.  
  1116. <p>BYU was a popular choice for the Big 12 because of its reputation as a church school. It&#8217;s also a member of the West Coast Conference Realignment .</p>
  1117.  
  1118.  
  1119.  
  1120. <p>Houston was also considered for expansion, but it has a lot to prove. It won the Peach Bowl in 2015 and won at least eight games in ten of the last twelve seasons.</p>
  1121.  
  1122.  
  1123.  
  1124. <p>Aside from the football success of the school, it has basketball prowess. The Frogs won the national championship in 2012 and finished eighth in the AP poll in 2017.</p>
  1125.  
  1126.  
  1127.  
  1128. <p>Both of these schools could potentially join the Big 12 in 2023. But they will likely join the SEC in 2025.</p>
  1129.  
  1130.  
  1131.  
  1132. <p>Pac -10 to reunite<br>It seems the Pac-12 was a laggard in the super conference category, so it was time to get it together. To the delight of fans in Los Angeles and the Bay Area , the Pac-12 made the big move from six to eight teams. In the process, Utah and Nebraska made the move from the Big 12 to the Pac- 12. The two schools paired up to play in a new league that is arguably better than the old Pac -12.</p>
  1133.  
  1134.  
  1135.  
  1136. <p>This meant that the big question was, what would the new Conference Realignment look like? Not only would the ACC be back but the Big Ten and SEC would be adding more than just a few programs to their ranks. For starters, the SEC could opt for the same tactic bringing the best of the West Coast to the east coast. That, and more money in the bank, would make the conference the envy of the rest of the country.</p>
  1137.  
  1138.  
  1139.  
  1140. <p>However, as of right now, the Big Ten is already set for at least another decade. As it stands, the ACC is the premier Conference Realignment on the West Coast, with its 14-team slate of teams largely intact through 2036. Meanwhile, the SEC could consider a similar move &#8211; including a re-branded West Virginia. While that may not be the most obvious move, it makes a lot of sense.</p>
  1141.  
  1142.  
  1143.  
  1144. <p>A more focused Conference Realignment , with the same level of attention and effort given to it, would be a welcome change. That said, there&#8217;s no guarantee that the ACC or SEC will get there. After all, the Pac-12 is the home of the late-night television game.</p>
  1145.  
  1146.  
  1147.  
  1148. <p>Sun Belt to have four playoff eligible teams in 2023<br>When the Sun Belt Conference football season began in 2022, it was the first non-autonomy conference to feature three 10-win teams during the regular season. It was also the first non-autonomy conference to defeat two Top 10 opponents on the same day in nearly two decades.</p>
  1149.  
  1150.  
  1151.  
  1152. <p>In 2023, the league will have 14 teams and two divisions. Each team will play a Conference Realignment road game and a conference home game. The team with the best record in its division will receive a bye week in the first round.</p>
  1153.  
  1154.  
  1155.  
  1156. <p>If that isn&#8217;t enough, three wild card teams are seeded based on in-season play. These three teams will play in a playoff, which is nationally televised on ESPN.</p>
  1157.  
  1158.  
  1159.  
  1160. <p>The winner of the Sun Belt Championship Game will be awarded the New Year&#8217;s Six bowl berth. This is awarded to the Sun Belt champion if they are the Group of 5 Conference Realignment champion.</p>
  1161.  
  1162.  
  1163.  
  1164. <p>The other seven teams in the Sun Belt Conference Realignment will qualify for bowl games. Forthcoming bowls include the Duluth Trading Cure Bowl, which will feature conference champion Troy.</p>
  1165.  
  1166.  
  1167.  
  1168. <p>The Troy Trojans finished the regular season with 10 wins. They were ranked in all three major polls. They have a top-rated defense, which allows 16.8 points per game. UTSA will face them in the bowl.</p>
  1169.  
  1170.  
  1171.  
  1172. <p>The James Madison Dukes are tied for the Sun Belt&#8217;s best standings. They will play with the Sun Belt&#8217;s second-best team to decide the Sun Belt East championship. However, the Dukes are not eligible to play in the Cotton Bowl or the Sun Belt Championship Game.</p>
  1173.  
  1174.  
  1175.  
  1176. <p>Sam Houston will join the FBS in 2022. Jacksonville State will also join the FBS in 2023, while Kennesaw State will leave the Big South.</p>
  1177.  
  1178.  
  1179.  
  1180. <p>MAC to be quietest of the Group of 5 leagues<br>The Mid-American Conference Realignment  (MAC) has been one of the quieter Group of 5 leagues during realignment. In fact, the MAC is the only one of the five that didn&#8217;t make any realignment changes.</p>
  1181.  
  1182.  
  1183.  
  1184. <p>While the MAC hasn&#8217;t been spruced up like a lot of other conferences have, the MAC has a few key benefits. Most importantly, the league is the largest subsidized FBS conference. It&#8217;s also largely suburban. And it&#8217;s got a strong bottom.</p>
  1185.  
  1186.  
  1187.  
  1188. <p>Another benefit is that the MAC hasn&#8217;t been subjected to the musical chairs game. This is important, as more teams are being tossed around in mid-major Conference Realignment  . However, the MAC still has some solid programs.</p>
  1189.  
  1190.  
  1191.  
  1192. <p>There are a few reasons the MAC has gotten off to a slow start. The best example is their 2-25 road record. Unlike some of the other Group of Five leagues, the MAC is not a centralized conference that has to travel far to play its rivals.</p>
  1193.  
  1194.  
  1195.  
  1196. <p>But it hasn&#8217;t been difficult to make the case for MAC to join Group-of-5 leagues. For starters, the MAC has some of the top programs in the country, and it hasn&#8217;t been deprived of high-caliber football.</p>
  1197.  
  1198.  
  1199.  
  1200. <p>The MAC is a lot like C-USA, though it isn&#8217;t as bad. Both have the same announcers, similar quarterbacks, and the same tailbacks. MAC schools also run the same read-option.</p>
  1201.  
  1202.  
  1203.  
  1204. <p>Despite its small footprint, the MAC is a surprisingly robust league. And it&#8217;s likely to be the MAC to watch in the future. Some of the MAC&#8217;s best teams are on the rise, including the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Michigan Wolverines.</p>
  1205.  
  1206.  
  1207.  
  1208. <p>On the other hand, the MAC&#8217;s biggest downfall is its limited number of games. Adding more schools would dilute the Conference Realignment revenue. Plus, adding a few more schools would inevitably lead to more travel.</p>
