30 teams playing for only one automatic bid to NCAA tournaments in basketball and other sports? Makes no sense.

Well the entire 30 theory makes no sense unless there are non-FB members involved. That's the only way you can add quality to the league once you get the numbers that high. It's also the way you could actually bridge geography. There are a bunch of really good east coast non-FB schools, but very few east coast FB schools. I had emailed Holland about non-FB members when this thing was just going to be an alliance and he said it was something he was pushing for, and I'm hoping if that 30 talk is true it's still being pushed.
