Does a team in the Big 8 that promotes or demotes, automatically go into the Big 8 his next series?

Or once in the Big 8, always in the Big 8?

From what has been seen in the last 2 offseasons. The promotions and demotions are pretty random. You could be demoted and promoted to anywhere as long as it is in the right direction and only one level.

Simce it is possible that between 1 and 3 teams relegate from each Big 8 conference, and between 0 and 1 promote, it would be impossible to maintain conferences.

For example, relegation from D.II will involve between 4 and 12 teams from each conference, and promotion from D.III will involve between 0 and 16 teams from each conference.

If 7 Big 8 teams go up amd 11 come down, how do you decide which 4 don't? And then you have to consider whether it is important to try to do as many as possible.
