Actually, what are they all? The team-weighted center, the geographic-based center, and the team-size-weighted center are all different means of answering the same question. All are justifiably as valid.

Another would be the team-funding-inverse-weighted center, basing the weight of a team off of the inverse of it's funding, thus giving less-well funded teams more weight due to their difficulties in traveling.
