My fear for next season is that a d.2 will be demoted into my conference forcing me to fight to get out of the 8th seed when I am actually a middle of the road team for my league overall.
The problem with the imbalance is I think it creates even more imbalance in the long run. It is easier to get promoted in a weaker conference due to TIE and increased arena and marketing revenue from easy wins. This is a problem, unless the BBs' system does make sure stronger new teams go in weaker conferences.
