Okay, cool. The ACC has more average qualifiers per school. I didn't disagree with that. My point is that your "metric" doesn't actually mean anything in determining how strong a conference is.
Based on your "metric" if the ACC added Sacred Heart, LIU, Morgan State, and Bellarmine (sorry to those teams ) to their conference tomorrow, they would be a weaker conference for it. Their average qualifier per school would take a large hit. How can a conference become weaker by addition?
