That looks pretty good to me.  Good geographics, only
ten teams.  I share the b-ball philosophy that any
more than ten does not make sense, unless, like I said
earlier, the football championship payout is
significant enough for the conference to profit.

I still like the Randy's idea of Army for football and
Charlotte for everything else.  Maybe that would be
the 10th team?
