True, but if it is for the sake of the development of football at the national level, you do not neccesarily need to posess a good domestic league to be an excellent team at the international level. See Nigeria, South Korea, and well, the United States for examples.
I would compare this to UNC and Duke being in the Mountain West. Hypothetically, you'd take them two and put them in a much better conference in order to give the other teams a fair shot at winning.
But hey, if this increases both sides' chances of lifting a trophy every season, who am I to criticize?
