Bad thing is, the next round of poaching from the Alliance may cause us to lose UNC Charlotte and another. But, we will still have numbers, quality and the geography to be successful.

Be selective, don't just add everybody carte blanche. That's the fastest way to create a WAC redux.

If the alliance does move to 30, the Belt above will have a 14/16 look to it, which will still give us balance and stability.

The alliance will not move to 30. There would not be enough T.V. money at 30. Plus, even if the alliance did move to 30, that would require about a third of the current Belt teams to be included. I don't they don't want that.
