Mostly good ideas, a couple quibbles:
1) The top teams will be scheduling tough enough. We don't need guidelines for Wichita and UNI. They know what they're doing. I suppose it's good to have that safeguard in for when a BU, DU, or SIU get good and they have to schedule accordingly.
2) You should be attacking the problem from the bottom up, not the top down. The key isn't top 50, it's bottom 50.
