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?

The incentive would obviously be the potential to make more money.

Where is that money supposed to be coming from? TV revenues? George Mason would be getting 1/30 of the basketball share of a not-great TV contract. Ticket sales? ECU and Marshall aren't going to sell a lot of tickets at the PAtriot Center, never mind UAB or FIU. Tournament shares? Because I think you have a better shot at the tournament from an ordinary conference that has an auto-bid.
