You can't grow the sport by keeping the new regions entirely seperate from the old. The only time the southern teams matter to the northern teams are when the playoffs come around (and I don't even mean seeding).

I want two conferences with east/central/west alignments. No more of this ridiculous rust-belt "Western" status...
Umm, this plan does exactly what you want - it mingles the southern teams with the northern.

An East/Central/West alignment, aside from being pointless, will never fly. The 20 teams in the Eastern time zone will vote it down in a heartbeat.
