Updated to include Georgia State's move to the Sun Belt in 2013 and Temple to the Big East in 2012.
With the help of Wikipedia, below is a list of football-related conference realignment moves for 2012 and beyond.
For 2012, seven teams will be switching conferences and we add four newcomers to the FBS ranks. In 2013, the Big East sees a windfall of teams heading their way, and C-USA and the MWC will form one conference. In 2014 Pitt and the Orange take off for the ACC and the Middies jump on board the Big East in 2015.
That'll do it for conference realignment, at least for now.
