conferences, I could even be persuaded the buy the argument that a conference could temporarily dip below the minimum number as long as it adds enough new members to get back to the minimum number by the start of the fiscal year it will lose any members. The other interesting thing about the bill is that clause would not apply to DI-FCS conferences and/or DI non-football conferences. If Congress wants to place a cap on P2 member or require the P2 conferences trade an equal number of schools away that they plan to add, then it would clearly state that in the bill. Plus, that position could still be a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act because the courts (think ultimately SCOTUS) could say the trading out of schools from a P2 conference could be a form of unreasonably restrain interstate trade. Particularly if those schools have no desire to leave the P2 conference and not enough members in the P2 conference don't have the desire to see them leave. If that is the intention of the bill, then the schools will just simply opt to not seek the antitrust exemption like you see happen with the NBA, NHL, and MLB.
