Romance glossary (a list of common words in all Romance languages, also Wenedyk and Brithenig)
Brithenig is constructed language that was made up by Andrew Smith from New Zealand in 1996.
The idea behind it is the question what the Welsh language would have looked like if it had been a Romance instead of a Celtic language: a sister language to French, Spanish and Italian, but one that looks much like Welsh.
It plays a key-role in the made-up world of Ill Bethisad, where Latin took the place of Old Celtic as the spoken language of the people in Great Britain, thus giving way to the development of Brithenig.
Brithenig is the best known example of the so-called group of "alternative languages", languages that could have existed if history had been different.
Another well-known example is Wenedyk, which does the same with Polish as Brithenig does with Welsh.

EastLink is a tollway (meaning people have to pay to drive on it) in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
It was opened on June 28, 2008.
It links the Frankston Freeway to the Eastern Freeway, and includes two tunnels, the Mullum Mullum tunnel and the Melba tunnel.
The interchange with the Monash Freeway, the largest in Victoria, is known as the Tom Wills interchange.
This was announced on February 27, 2008.
This particular interchange was chosen because it was within a short distance from Waverely Park, and the home of the Hawthorn Football Club.
Tolls are paid by either a bill sent in the mail, buying a pass from a shop or creating an account and using an electronic Breeze tag or another tollways type of electronic tag in the car to keep track of tolls.
The cost of the tolls is charged against the owner's account.

The University of Kansas is a public university in Lawrence, a hilly city in northeastern Kansas.
It is often abbreviated as "KU".
KU held its first classes in 1866.
As of Spring 2011, over 30,000 students attended school there.
There was a plan to build a university in Kansas in 1855, but it didn't happen until Kansas became a state in 1861.
The Kansas government needed to decide where to build the university.
Their choices were Manhattan, Emporia, or Lawrence.
On January 13, 1863, Kansas State University was built in Manhattan.
The only cities left were Emporia and Lawrence.
Amos A. Lawrence gave $10,000 and more than 40 acres (160,000 m2) of land for a university in Lawrence.
The Kansas government liked that, so the government chose Lawrence.
On February 20, 1863, Kansas Governor Thomas Carney signed into law a bill creating the state university in Lawrence.
The law was made if Lawrence gave a gift of a $15,000 endowment fund and a place for the university.
The place would need to be in or near the town, of not less than forty acres (16 ha) of land.
On November 2, 1863, Governor Carney said Lawrence had met the conditions to get the state university.
In 1864, the university was officially organized.
The University of Kansas School of Business is a public business school on the main campus in Lawrence.
The KU School of Business was created in 1924.
It has more than 80 staff members, and it has about 1500 students.
It was named one of the best business schools in the Midwest by Princeton Review.
The KU School of Business has been credited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) for its undergraduate and graduate programs in business and accounting.
The University of Kansas School of Law was created in 1878.
It was the top law school in the state of Kansas.
The 2016 U.S. News & World Report "U.S. News Best Colleges Rankings" says that it was the 65th best law school in the United States.
Classes are held in Green Hall at W 15th St and Burdick Dr, which is named after former dean James Green.
The KU School of Engineering is a public engineering school on the main campus in Lawrence.
The School of Engineering was officially created in 1891, although engineering degrees were awarded as early as 1873.
The U.S. News & World Report'''s "America’s Best Colleges" 2016 issue says that KU's School of Engineering was the 90th best engineering school in the United States.
Edwards Campus
The KU Edwards Campus is in Overland Park, Kansas.
It was created in 1993.
It was created in order to provide adults with a chance to get college degrees and to get better education.
About 2,000 students go there.
The average age of the students is 31.
The Edwards campus provides programs developmental psychology, public administration, social work, systems analysis, engineering management and design.
Students enrolled in 6 or more credit hours paid a yearly required campus fee of $888.
The schools of architecture, music, arts, business, education, engineering, journalism, law, pharmacy, and social welfare charge more fees.
, the yearly tuition for 30 credit hours for a freshman is estimated by the university to be $10,182.
This does not include room and board costs.
Kansas' athletics teams are called the Jayhawks.
Kansas has 16 varsity teams, all of which compete in the Big 12 Conference.

The Kansas Jayhawks, commonly referred to as KU, are the athletic teams that represent the University of Kansas.
KU is one of three schools in the state of Kansas that are in the NCAA Division I. The Jayhawks are also a part of the Big 12 Conference.
KU athletic teams have won eleven NCAA Division I championships: three in men's basketball, one in men's cross country, three in men's indoor track and field, three in men's outdoor track and field, and one in women's outdoor track and field.
The University of Kansas officially hass 16 sports: 6 men's and 8 women's.
The school used to have a wrestling team, though the sport was stopped during the 1960s.
KU began playing football in 1890.
The Jayhawks have been to the Orange Bowl in 1948, 1969 and 2008, winning in 2008.
The team plays in Memorial Stadium (capacity 50,071).
It the seventh oldest college football stadium in the United States.
It opened in 1921.
The University of Pennsylvania is a private Ivy League university in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Many people call the university "Penn."
It contains four undergraduate schools, which are for students without a college degree.
These schools are nursing, arts and sciences, engineering, and Wharton, which is a famous business school.
It had graduate schools-for those with a college degree- in medicine, business, law, dentistry, veterinary medicine, nursing, education, communication, design, and social policy.
Their competitive teams are known as the Quakers.

The WAC was formed in 1962 by six western schools—the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, Brigham Young University (BYU), the University of New Mexico, the University of Utah, and the University of Wyoming.
Three other schools, the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and Washington State University, were part of the original discussions, but chose to join what is now the Pacific-12 Conference.
New Mexico State and Utah State applied for charter membership, but were turned down, and would not join until 2005.
First expansion
The WAC grew to eight members in 1967, when Colorado State University and the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) joined.
However, in the 1970s, massive population growth in Arizona led to the two Arizona schools dominating the conference, especially in football.
Arizona and Arizona State left for the Pacific-8 Conference in 1978, which then became the Pacific-10 (now the Pacific-12).
The WAC reloaded by adding San Diego State University in 1978, the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (Hawaiʻi) in 1979, and the United States Air Force Academy (Air Force) in 1980.
This nine-team lineup defined the WAC for the next 15 years.
In 1990, the WAC added women's sports when it absorbed the High Country Athletic Conference, a women's sports conference that included most of the schools then in the WAC.
Two years later, California State University, Fresno (Fresno State) joined the WAC.
Several years later, the demise of the Southwest Conference (SWC) led to many schools changing conferences.
In 1996, six schools joined the WAC.
Three of them—Rice University, Southern Methodist University (SMU), and Texas Christian University (TCU)—were from the SWC.
The others were San Jose State and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), both from the Big West Conference, and the University of Tulsa from the Missouri Valley Conference.
At the same time, Air Force and Hawaiʻi brought their women's sports into the WAC.
These moves meant that the WAC now had 16 members.
Most of the pre-1990 members were soon unhappy in a 16-team league.
The conference now ranged from Hawaii to Oklahoma, spanning five time zones and , making travel costs a major concern.
In 1999, the conference split largely along pre-1990 and post-1990 lines.
Seven of the pre-1990 members—Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah, and Wyoming—joined with newcomer UNLV to form the Mountain West Conference (MW).
In the 2000s
The post-breakup WAC quickly added a new member in the University of Nevada, Reno (Nevada), which joined from the Big West in 2000.
Later that year, the Big West announced that it would no longer play football.
Four of that conference's schools—Boise State University, the University of Idaho, New Mexico State University, and Utah State University—wanted to keep playing football.
Boise State was immediately accepted by the WAC, joining in 2001.
Louisiana Tech University also joined the WAC alongside Boise State.
The three other Big West football schools did not join the WAC at that time.
Later in the 2000s, the WAC was affected by another wave of conference realignment.
After the Big East Conference lost three of its members to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in 2004 and 2005, it reloaded by "raiding" Conference USA (C-USA).
In turn, C-USA sought new members from other conferences, and four WAC schools—Rice, SMU, TCU, and Tulsa—accepted invitations to join C-USA in 2005.
The WAC responded by adding the three other schools that had played Big West football (Idaho, New Mexico State, and Utah State).
Turmoil and possible demise
Another major cycle of conference realignment began in 2010 when the Big Ten Conference and the then-Pacific-10 announced plans to expand.
This started a chain of moves that affected all eleven conferences that play football in the top-level Division I FBS.
No conference was more affected than the WAC, whose future as a Division I conference is now in serious doubt.
The first move affecting the WAC came in June 2010.
After the MW lost Utah to the Pacific-12, Boise State accepted an invitation to join the MW in 2011.
Two months later, BYU also left the MW, which responded by inviting two WAC members, Fresno State and Nevada.
Both accepted, and would leave for the MW in 2012.
In November 2010, Denver, Texas State, and UTSA were invited to join the WAC in 2012, with all accepting.
In the same month, Hawaiʻi announced it would leave the WAC in 2012 to join the Big West for most sports and the MW for football.
The summer of 2011 saw two other schools accept invitations to join in 2012—Seattle and UT Arlington.
These moves meant that for the first time in WAC history, the conference would have non-football members, as Denver, Seattle, and UT Arlington do not have football teams.
One month later, Boise State announced that it would rejoin the WAC for most of its sports in 2013, with its football team moving to the Big East.
However, the WAC suffered major blows in spring 2012, with five members stating they would leave in July 2013.
Three of the new 2012 members will spend only one year in the WAC—UTSA will join C-USA, and Texas State and UT Arlington will move to the Sun Belt Conference.
Louisiana Tech will also join C-USA, while San Jose State and Utah State will join the MW.
Making matters worse for the WAC, Boise State decided not to join the WAC in 2013, instead choosing to put its non-football sports in the Big West.
Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt (August 16 1832– August 31 1920) was a German medical doctor, psychologist, physiologist, and professor.
Together with William James, he is  regarded as the father of psychology.
In 1879, Wundt founded the one of first formal laboratory for psychological research at the University of Leipzig, and the first journal for psychological research in 1881.

Regression analysis is a field of statistics.
It is a tool to show the relationship between the inputs and the outputs of a system.
There are different ways to do this.
Better curve fitting usually needs more complex calculations.
Data modeling can be used without knowing about the underlying processes that have generated the data; in this case the model is an empirical model.
Moreover, in modelling, knowledge of the probability distribution of the errors is not required.
Regression analysis requires assumptions to be made regarding probability distribution of the errors.
Statistical tests are made on the basis of these assumptions.
In regression analysis the term "model" embraces both the function used to model the data and the assumptions concerning probability distributions.
Regression can be used for prediction (including forecasting of time-series data), inference, hypothesis testing, and modeling of causal relationships.
These uses of regression rely heavily on the underlying assumptions being satisfied.
Regression analysis has been criticized as being misused for these purposes in many cases where the appropriate assumptions cannot be verified to hold.
One factor contributing to the misuse of regression is that it can take considerably more skill to critique a model than to fit a model.
The first type of regression analysis was linear regression.
The method of least squares was first published by Legendre in 1805 and in 1809 by Gauß.
Both used the method to predict the movement of planets around the sun.
Gauss published an improved method in 1821.
Forensic science (or forensics) is when different fields of science work together to answer the questions a lawyer would ask.
Most often, forensics is about proving that someone was present at a place where a crime was committed.
Specialists take samples which are later analyzed in a laboratory.
Most forensic tests can take from 1 hour to one year, and investigators need to double (and triple) check the answer, so they know that the answer is the right answer.
If a forensics team made a mistake the wrong person could be jailed, or they could get into trouble themselves.
Samples commonly taken include fingerprints.
People also look for other things that could be used, for example a few hairs (or pieces of skin).
Samples like hair or skin can be use for DNA testing, which allows to tell the gender of the person the hair is from, amongst others.
When someone is accused of committing the crime, these pieces of evidence can then be matched up.
Then, if they are correct, the person is charged.
Forensic accounting is the study and interpretation of accounting evidence
Forensic anthropology is the application of physical anthropology in a legal setting, usually for the recovery and identification of skeletonized human remains.
Forensic archaeology is the application of a combination of archaeological techniques and forensic science, typically in law enforcement.
Computational forensics concerns the development of algorithms and software to assist forensic examination.
Criminalistics applies various sciences to answer questions relating to examination and comparison of biological evidence, trace evidence, impression evidence (such as fingerprints, footwear impressions, and tire tracks), controlled substances, ballistics, firearm and toolmark examination, and other evidence in criminal investigations.
In typical circumstances evidence is processed in a crime lab.
Forensic dactyloscopy is the study of fingerprints.
Digital forensics is the application of proven scientific methods and techniques in order to recover data from electronic / digital media.
Digital Forensic specialists work in the field as well as in the lab.
Forensic document examination or questioned document examination answers questions about a disputed document using a variety of scientific processes and methods.
Many examinations involve a comparison of the questioned document, or components of the document, with a set of known standards.
The most common type of examination involves handwriting, whereby the examiner tries to address concerns about potential authorship.
Forensic DNA analysis takes advantage of the uniqueness of an individual's DNA to answer forensic questions such as paternity/maternity testing and placing a suspect at a crime scene, e.g. in a rape investigation.
Forensic engineering is the scientific examination and analysis of structures and products relating to their failure or cause of damage.
Forensic linguistics deals with issues in the legal system that requires linguistic expertise.
Forensic pathology applies the medical methods and principles of pathology, including autopsy, to determine a cause of death or injury in the context of a legal inquiry.
Forensic psychology is the study of the mind of an individual, using forensic methods.
Usually it determines the circumstances behind a criminal's behavior.
Forensic toxicology is the study of the effect of drugs and poisons on/in the human body.
Forensic Podiatry is an application of the study of feet footprint or footwear and their traces to analyze scene of crime and to establish personal identity in forensic examinations.
A fingerprint is a trace of a human finger left on a surface.
Human fingers have small structures on them (like mountains and valleys).
These structures are unique in every human; they can be used as means of identification.
There are many different ways to take fingerprints.
Forensic scientists use these techniques to identify a person.
Physical cosmology is a branch of astronomy.
It looks at large structures in the universe.

Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher FRS (17 February 1890 – 29 July 1962) was an English statistician, evolutionary biologist, and geneticist.
He was described as "a genius who almost single-handedly created the foundations for modern statistical science".
Richard Dawkins described him as "the greatest of Darwin's successors".
Professional years
In 1919 Fisher started work at Rothamsted Experimental Station at Harpenden, Hertfordshire, England.
Here he started a major study of the extensive collections of data recorded over many years.
This resulted in a series of reports under the general title Studies in crop variation.
This began a period of great productivity.
Over the next seven years, he pioneered the principles of the design of experiments and elaborated his studies of the analysis of variance.
He studied the statistics of small samples.
Perhaps even more important, he began his systematic approach of the analysis of real data as the springboard for the development of new statistical methods.
He began to pay particular attention to the labour involved in the necessary computations, and developed practical methods.
In 1925, his first book was published: Statistical methods for research workers.
This went into many editions and translations in later years, and became a standard reference work for scientists in many disciplines.
In 1935, this was followed by The design of experiments, which also became a standard.
His work on the theory of population genetics made him one of the three great figures of that field, together with Sewall Wright and J.B.S. Haldane.
He was one of the founders of the neo-Darwinian modern evolutionary synthesis.
In addition to founding modern quantitative genetics with his 1918 paper, he was the first to use diffusion equations to attempt to calculate the distribution of gene frequencies among populations.
He pioneered the estimation of genetic linkage and gene frequencies by maximum likelihood methods.
His 1950 paper on gene frequency clines is notable as the first application of a computer to biology.
Fisher had a long and successful collaboration with E.B. Ford in the field of ecological genetics.
The outcome of this work was the recognition that the force of natural selection was often much stronger than had been appreciated.
Many ecogenetic situations (such as polymorphism) were not selectively neutral, on the contrary, they were maintained by the force of selection.
Fisher was the original author of the idea of heterozygote advantage, which was later found to play a frequent role in genetic polymorphism.
The discovery of indisputable cases of natural selection in nature was one of the main strands in the modern evolutionary synthesis.
Fisher's genetical theory and eugenics
Between 1929 and 1934 the Eugenics Society also campaigned hard for a law permitting sterilisation on eugenic grounds.
They believed that it should be entirely voluntary, and a right, not a punishment.
They published a draft of a proposed bill, and it was submitted to Parliament.
Although it was defeated by a 2:1 ratio, this was viewed as progress, and the campaign continued.
Fisher played a major role in this movement, and served in several official committees to promote it.
Fisher's books
His book The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection was started in 1928 and published in 1930, with a second edition in 1950.
He developed ideas on sexual selection, mimicry and the evolution of dominance.
He showed that the probability of a mutation increasing the fitness of an organism decreases proportionately with the magnitude of the mutation.
He also proved that larger populations carry more variation and have a larger chance of survival.
He set forth the foundations of what was to become known as population genetics.
About a third of the book concerned the applications of these ideas to humans, and presented the data available at that time.
He presented a theory that attributed the decline and fall of civilizations to the fertility of the upper classes being low.
Using the census data of 1911 for Britain, he showed that there was an inverse relationship between fertility and social class.
This was partly due, he believed, to the rise in social status of families who were not capable of producing many children but who rose because of the financial advantage of having a small number of children.
Therefore he proposed the abolishment of the economic advantage of small families by instituting subsidies (he called them allowances) to families with larger numbers of children, with the allowances proportional to the earnings of the father.
He himself had two sons and six daughters.
According to Yates and Mather, "His large family, reared in conditions of great financial stringency, was a personal expression of his genetic and evolutionary convictions".
The book was reviewed, among others, by physicist Charles Galton Darwin, a grandson of Charles Darwin's.
After his review, C.G. Darwin sent Fisher his copy of the book, with notes in the margin.
The marginal notes became the food for a correspondence running at least three years.
Fisher's book also had a major influence on W.D. Hamilton and the development of his theories on the genetic basis for kin selection.
Statistical Methods for Research Workers () is a classic 1925 book on statistics by Fisher.
It is one of the 20th century's most influential books on statistical methods.
According to Conniffe,
of statistical methods... his early book Statistical Methods for Research Workers, published in 1925, went through many editions and influenced the practical use of statistics in many fields of
Fisher's Design of Experiments (1935) was "also fundamental, [and promoted] statistical technique and application... The mathematical justification of the methods was not stressed and proofs were often barely sketched or omitted altogether .... [This] led H.B. Mann to fill the gaps with a rigorous mathematical treatment in his treatise".

The Art of War () is an ancient Chinese military text.
It was written by Sun Tzu, a high-ranking military general, strategist and Taoist philosopher.
The text contains 13 chapters.
Each chapter covers one aspect of warfare.
The book was written over 2,500 years ago.
At first it was written on bamboo slats that were sewn together.
It was read by politicians, scholars and military leaders.
Translations of the book were first read in Japan and Korea.
The oldest copy from Japan dates to the 8th century.
It was translated into French in 1772 by a Jesuit named Jean Joseph Marie Amiot.
The first translation into English was published by Lionel Giles in 1910.
The Art of War was first translated into Russian in 1950.
Due to the Russian knowledge of French culture is it probable they had copies in French much earlier.
It is used today by business schools and militaries worldwide.
When Sun Tzu first wrote The Art of War, it was not the first book on military tactics.
He quotes from The Book of Military Administration by Chun Cheng.
The quote is limited to the use of signal flags and drums to move soldiers.
Chun cheng's book has not survived to the present day so little is known of what else was in it.
But books of that time were based on rules of warfare that all sides followed.
The rules were based on chivalry.
Sun Tzu mastered the art of being unpredictable in warfare.
David versus Goliath
In situations where a smaller weaker force is faced with a stronger larger force, Sun Tzu's tactics are very often successful.
David and Goliath is a Biblical story of a weaker shepherd boy facing a giant who is a skilled warrior.
David uses an unconventional weapon and slays Goliath.
David refused to fight by Goliath's rules.
Political scientist Ivan Arreguín-Toft did calculations on wars.
He discovered that about a third of the time the weaker country actually wins.
American generals Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. and Colin Powell followed principals in The Art of War in the Gulf War.

Conference USA, officially abbreviated C-USA, is a group of college sports teams that play each other on the NCAA Division I level.
It was formed in 1995 when the Great Midwest Conference and Metro Conference merged, and has added several members since then.
Most of the new members have come from either the Western Athletic Conference or the Sun Belt Conference.
From 2005 to 2014, it also lost many members, mostly to the original Big East Conference and its football-playing offshoot, the American Athletic Conference.
Memphis (now a member of The American) has been the most successful men's basketball team in the conference, reaching the national championship game in 2008. (
However, the NCAA later took Memphis's wins from that season away because a Memphis player, namely Derrick Rose, had not been eligible to play.)
Conference USA now has 14 "full members" which play most of their sports in the league; all except Rice are public schools.
In football only, the schools are split into East and West Divisions.
This allows the division winners to play a conference championship game.
C-USA now has five "associate members"—schools that are full members of another conference who play select sports in C-USA.
Two play men's soccer in the conference, two others play women's beach volleyball, and one houses both sports in C-USA.
Future associate members
One school will become a C-USA associate in the near future.
Former full members
No fewer than 14 schools have left C-USA since it was founded.
Most of these schools are now members of the American Athletic Conference.
Former associate members
In addition to the former full members, 14 other schools have been associate members in the past, but have moved their C-USA sports elsewhere.
Most notably, the United States Military Academy, more often called "Army" in a sports context, was a football member from 1996 to 2005 (final C-USA season in 2004).
Sewall Green Wright (21 December 1889 – 3 March 1988) was an American geneticist.
He was a founder of population genetics, and contributed to evolutionary theory.
He also did original work in statistics in a field called path analysis.
With R.A. Fisher and J.B.S. Haldane, he was a founder of theoretical population genetics.
He is the discoverer of the inbreeding coefficient and of methods of computing it in pedigrees.
He extended this work to populations, calculating the degree of inbreeding of members of populations as a result of random genetic drift.
Together with Fisher, he pioneered methods for calculating the distribution of gene frequencies among  populations as a result of the interaction of natural selection, mutation, migration and genetic drift.
The work of Fisher, Wright, and Haldane on theoretical population genetics was a major step in the development of the modern evolutionary synthesis of genetics with evolution.
Wright also made contributions to mammalian genetics and biochemical genetics.
What appears to happen in evolution is that the rate of change in any organism varies a lot.
There seem to be times when change is rapid, and times when almost no change occurs.
Wright tried to explain stasis, which is when no visible change occurs.
His explanation was that organisms come to occupy adaptive peaks.
In order to evolve to another, higher peak, the species would first have to pass through a valley of maladaptive intermediate stages.
In other words, they get stuck on one peak, and can't get to another because getting there would make them less competitive.
Wright though getting to another peak might be possible.
It might happen by genetic drift if the population is small enough.
If a species was divided into small populations, some could find higher peaks.
If there was some gene flow between the populations, these adaptations could spread to the rest of the species.
This was Wright's shifting balance theory of evolution.
There has been much skepticism among evolutionary biologists as to whether this happens in natural populations.
Wright had a long standing and sometimes bitter debate about this with R.A. Fisher, who felt that most populations in nature were too large for the effects of genetic drift to be important.
Research by Dobzhansky and E.B. Ford showed that natural selection in the field was a much stronger force that Wright had expected.
Wright's own biographer now doubts the validity of Wright's idea.

is an adventure video game that Capcom released for the Nintendo DS game console.
It is a spin-off of the Ace Attorney games starring Miles Edgeworth and Dick Gumshoe, two main characters in the series.
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth plays differently from the other games.
The games in the Ace Attorney series are courtroom dramas, but Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth focuses on pointing and clicking around the area, moving Edgeworth around the crime scenes to find evidence.
When it was being developed, it was called NEW Gyakuten NOT Saiban because it used the same setting and characters, but different gameplay.
It is being directed by Tsuyoshi Yamazaki instead of Shu Takumi, who directed the other games were.
By April 2008, they said that the game was 40% complete.

The Sun Belt Conference is a group of college sports teams that play each other on the NCAA Division I level.
The conference was formed in 1976, and started playing football in 2001.
Of the current 12 full members (those playing most of their sports in the league), 10 play football in the top-level Division I FBS.
The other two do not play football.
The conference's full members are scattered through the southern United States.
The current non-football members are Little Rock and UT Arlington.
The Sun Belt announced four new members in a two-week span in October and November 2021, all of which sponsor football.
Old Dominion, which had been a Sun Belt member from 1982 to 1991, will rejoin, and three more schools will join for the first time.
All are scheduled to join no later than July 2023.
In the past, the Sun Belt has had "associate members" that play only a few sports, usually one, in the league, but has had none since it shut down its men's soccer league after the 2020–21 school year.
The first school to abandon single-sport membership was Utah State, which played Sun Belt football in 2003 and 2004 before joining the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in 2005.
The Aggies have been members of the Mountain West Conference since 2013.
Idaho and New Mexico State had two different periods of involvement in the league.
New Mexico State first joined the Sun Belt as a full member in 2000, and brought its football team into the Sun Belt the next year.
Also in 2001, Idaho joined only for football.
Both left in 2005 to join the WAC.
During the early 2010s, NCAA Division I went through a major phase of conference changes, with most leagues gaining or losing multiple members.
The WAC was one of the most affected conferences, going through a nearly complete membership turnover that left Idaho and New Mexico State as the league's only football schools.
In 2014, both placed their football programs in the Sun Belt.
The conference announced in 2016 that its agreements for Idaho and New Mexico State to play football in the league would not be renewed when they ended after the 2017 season.
NJIT (the New Jersey Institute of Technology) was another victim of this realignment; it was forced to become an independent (not in a conference) when its former league, the Great West Conference, collapsed.
Its men's soccer team joined the Sun Belt in 2014, a year before the school found a home in the ASUN Conference.
Although the ASUN sponsors men's soccer, NJIT kept that team in the Sun Belt until 2016, honoring its two-year contract to play in that league.
Another recent change involved Hartwick, which had long competed in Division I men's soccer despite otherwise being in NCAA Division III.
In 2018, Hartwick aligned completely with Division III, moving its men's soccer team to its full-time home of the Empire 8.
The most recent changes came in 2021, when the Sun Belt shut down its men's soccer league after it dropped below the number of members needed to keep the automatic berth its champion received in the NCAA tournament.
The Mountain West Conference (abbreviated as either "MW" or "MWC") is a group of colleges and universities in the Western United States, who play NCAA Division I sports against one another.
In football, the MW plays in the top-level Division I FBS.
The league was formed in 1999 when eight schools split from the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).
Most of the original members had been members of the WAC before it grew from 10 schools to 16 in 1996.
Due to a major realignment of Division I conferences, the MW and Conference USA announced plans to merge into one conference, possibly for the 2013–14 school year.
However, because of money issues, the conferences backed away from a full merger.
They planned to form an alliance for scheduling and television purposes.
After both conferences added more schools, they backed out of the planned alliance.
Two schools are "associate members", meaning that they play in the MW in some sports while playing most other sports in another league.
Both schools play only one sport in the MW.

The Mid-American Conference (MAC) is a college sports conference whose full members are located in the Great Lakes region of the United States.
It sponsors 11 men's sports and 12 women's sports at the NCAA Division I level.
In football, the MAC is one of 10 conferences that play in the top-level Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
The MAC was founded in 1946 by five schools in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, but only one of the founding members, Ohio University, is still in the conference.
All but two of its current full members are in those three states.
Sports sponsored
Basketball (both men and women)
Cross country (both men and women)
Golf (both men and women)
Gymnastics (women only)
Lacrosse (women only)
Soccer (both men and women)
Swimming and diving (both men and women)
Tennis (both men and women)
Track and field, indoor (both men and women)
Track and field, outdoor (both men and women)
Currently, the MAC has 12 full members, all public schools, each of which competes in at least 15 MAC sports.
Every member of the conference competes in football, baseball, men's and women's basketball, and the following women's sports: cross country, soccer, softball, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball.
In many sports, the conference is split into East and West Divisions.
The MAC has 21 "associate members" that each play only one sport in the conference.
One of these schools will leave the MAC for another conference in July 2022.
A major recent change in associate membership happened in 2019 when the MAC absorbed the Eastern Wrestling League, a single-sport conference that had existed since 1975.
All seven of the EWL's final members thus became MAC associates.
A more recent change to associate membership took place on July 1, 2020 when the MAC added three members in the new conference sport of women's lacrosse, along with one former wrestling member dropping the sport.
SIU Edwardsville (SIUE), in full Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, left the MAC men's soccer league in 2021 to return to its former soccer home of the Missouri Valley Conference.
It remains a MAC member in wrestling.
Another change in associate membership was announced in June 2020.
Bellarmine University, which started a transition from NCAA Division II to Division I that July, joined the MAC field hockey league in July 2021.
At the same time Bellarmine joined in field hockey and SIUE left in wrestling, Georgia Southern University and Georgia State University joined MAC men's soccer, and Missouri wrestling left to become a single-sport member of its former all-sports home of the Big 12 Conference.
The next change in associate membership takes place in July 2022 when West Virginia University moves its men's soccer team to Conference USA.

Charizard (known as Lizardon in Japan) is a character of the Pokémon anime and video game series.
Ash, one of the main characters in the series, owns a Charizard.
Known as the Flame Pokémon, Charizards are violent yet honorable creatures, flying proudly around the sky and always looking for powerful enemies to fight with.
Charizard is also the version mascot of Pokémon Red and FireRed versions, and makes an appearance on the boxarts of many other Pokémon games.
During an interview, Pokémon Company president Tsunekazu Ishihara said that they knew Charizard would be popular with North Americans, because they like strong, powerful characters.
Charizards are orange dragon-like Pokémon that have two wings, that are blue on the front, and orange on the back.
Its belly and soles are cream-colored, while their eyes are light blue.
The video games say that Charizard's wings can bring it to 4,600 feet in the sky.
They can breath very hot flames that can melt anything, although it will never torch a weaker enemy.
Charizard also crush their enemies with its claws.
Charizard are violent yet honorable creatures, flying proudly around the sky and always looking for powerful enemies to fight with.
If a Charizard is angry, the flame at the tip of its tail can be a whitish-blue color.
Because of their crazy behavior, Charizard are also known to cause wildfires by accident.
They can easily fly well over 4,600 feet in the air.
Charizard has appeared many times in the Super Smash Bros. (series).
Charizard first appears as a non-playable character in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, as one of the Pokémon that come if a player uses a Poké Ball.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl Charizard is now playable, under the command of the Pokémon Trainer.
The Trainer also has a Squirtle and an Ivysaur, that you can swich from at any time.
It can use Flamethrower and Rock Smash.
It also uses Fly and has the ability to glide.
Charizard is a Heavyweight and attacks with many physical attacks.
It uses Fire Blast in Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, Triple Finish.
Described by the media as "a lean, ferocious, fire-breathing dragon [...] sleek, powerful, and utterly destructive", Charizard has been noted as one of the franchise's most popular characters.
People who sell toys have noted that the high sales of merchandise related to the character to the popularity of the character's dragon-like design with children.
Interviewed children have stated similar; they attributed its appeal to its "cool looking" appearance and associating the character with the concepts of stubbornness and power.
GamesRadar described Charizard as "hands-down one of the coolest Pokémon out there", heavily praising its character design and calling it "one of the coolest" designs of the entire series.
IGN editor "pokemonofthedaychick" called Charizard "certainly the most popular and perhaps the most well-balanced of any of the current starting Pokémon".
The book Pikachu's Global Adventure: The Rise and Fall of Pokémon cited Charizard as popular with older male children who tend to be drawn to "tough or scary" characters, and compared the character's evolution from Charmander into Charizard with the loss of "cuteness" as one leaves childhood.
The book Rebuilding Attachments With Traumatized Children stated psychiatrists utilized the character as an empowered character traumatized children who were fans of the Pokémon series could relate to.
In 2005, search engine Yahoo!
reported Charizard as one of the top Pokémon-related web searches.
