This leaves the AEC with just four schools for 27-28?

If we are to believe the UEC-AEC "it's not a merger" announcement, seems to me we will see some UEC schools move over to balance membership numbers to retain two AQs between the partner (is that what we call it?) conferences.

I suspect this is a "can we get to 27-28 with 14 total schools so we can keep two AQs in everything" situation.
