Realignment's avalanche continues to morph collegiate athletics.

The Big East still exists, but it's not your father's Big East. Or even your older brother's Big East. The ACC is a superpower with Notre Dame, Pitt, Syracuse and Louisville (2014) joining the conference.

But the high-profile shifts have masked the monumental reshaping in some of America's off-the-radar conferences.

The powerhouse programs are treated like elite free agents as they're courted by powerful suitors.
