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.

What is the incentive for a non-football school to join the Alliance? Say I'm the AD from Belmont, or from George Mason or VCU or Fordham. Why would I go from a league that has an automatic bid, that's somewhat travel-friendly, where I have some conference rivalries, to the football-centric, spread-across-the-country, mediocre-basketball Alliance?

I'm not slamming the Alliance, or not trying to. I'm just not sure why you think schools who aren't trying to protect their TV football revenues will be tempted to sign up with this project.

The only schools I would see as good candidates for non-football membership in the Alliance are the Big East's western members.
