For certain series it is almost obvious that the best team will replace those who rise to the higher series .. with the exception of BOTs who drop, or repechage, it will always be like this ..

I let you take a look at french D1.
At the moment the blue conference has won 10 consecutive titles, still in progress, and we often get the best promoted teams... Fresh example last season with the two undefeated D2 teams joining us. And I know this problem also occurs in other divisions.
I don't know if the promoting system is totally random and if this is just bad luck, but yes I understand that people want to change things.
Telling that time will balance the conferences' competitiveness isn't true, or at least not always in a decent time span.

I should have kept the datas but this season our conference was on average +150k$ of weekly salaries (don't forget some of us play the cup too). And I'd say that each season about 3 of the top 4 salaries are in the blue conference.
Each time a strong team can't handle our conference's rythm then it gets replaced by a really strong promoted team.

So I keep what I said. And it is just an example showing that, yes, conferences can be unbalanced for a loooong time. As it was the case in the NBA in fact

Yes and it took more than 20 seasons for the east to have an equal (and then a stronger) competition than the west conference. I don't think that's a good model for BB :)

I was just saying I don't feel like time is sufficient to balance the disparities between conferences.
But I don't have any idea on how to improve the current status without the disadvantages some of you pointed out, given I don't know how the promotion/demotion system works.

In the NBA there are no relegations,
in the NBA there are only 30 teams competing for the victory (in a broad sense ..)

If even here we want 30 to compete for primacy in the world, we can continue to compare the real world with a totally invented world ..
