Not enough land is bullshit excuses. The problem is that not everyone has the stomach for PC the same way lots of Eve doesn't have the stomach to deal with the stress, politics, and constant nature of SOV.
Constant fighting wears you down if you only have one elite team. Happened to OH. AE managed to keep the pieces together while holding out but they had a lot for players at that level they could swap in...OH for w/e reason relied on it's a-team which led to a bunch of them burning out.
Facilitating corps getting into PC by, for example, relaxing or maintaining the price of clone packs while providing more clones in the pack (150 with perhaps an option to buy 300) would help a lot.
The thing about building a corp is you need to inspire people to follow you and then you have to find enough help to consistently field a team.
Most corps struggle getting enough members interested in PC, or stuggle with recruiting enough players to have a consistent team on, while leading them in learning to love dust514 or their community or w/e keeps you active and playing.
No small feat.
Just as I built FA I could go to another corp and build it the same way...simply looking for talent in the pubs and selling a vision of how i'm going to get them into PC.
That's not to say I'm some great recruiter (though I am pretty damn good), more simply that it doesn't have to be the big three.
There's enough talent in LoI or CI so make a 4th...Hell NF requires OSG's help to be where they are at much of the time.
The problem is simply one of motivation. Do you want it bad enough. And will you make the sacrifices to get there.
I did. It's not impossible. It just took me a month. <3 Immagine if you were actually a charismatic leader who didn't need to chuck nades to be relevant!? o.O
Side note:
We're probably not part of the 'big three' and thus all of this is irrelevant.
Apologies.

Can I get this explained to me? How did you come to this conclusion?
Umm...well i dunno every match i see you're using OSG help...primarily SGT Nipples, Navi, Mudflaps, and Waffle.
I suppose i'm to believe OSG doesn't ring with you on many of your matches?
If you didn't need them why use them?
YOu sit your own people to play 4 people from another corp?

Finding players that are good enough to take on bada** corps is hard to do, considering they can just join said corp instead of trying to see a vision down the road.
You had a history in this game, and have made connections, so you were able to pick up good players because of it.
I don't know anyone in your corp that is an "unknown" prior to joining. Even your 'lesser' players I knew of. Perhaps, because I play really close attention to things like that in this game. Here's an honest question. Because I applied to FA back in the day, you rejected my app (no, not upset about it in the slightest, especially since it was like 3 months ago)
Was my app rejected because of my stats? Was it rejected because I didn't have a referral, or some people told you I wasn't good enough? Was it rejected because I was 'unknown' to you?I know when I look at apps, the first thing I do is ask other directors "who is this player"? Because reputation matters to me. Since I remember lots of names in this game and can categorize them as good or bad, I base a lot of recruiting decisions on it. Names trigger in my brain, and if a name doesn't trigger, then I equate that they must not be that good. A corp like Quebec United seems to be on the rise, and maybe we'll see them in MH someday, but I don't know a single one of those guys. I can't name one person from that corp so I would never give them a chance probably. Perhaps I rejected some of them in the past, what a terrible mistake that looks like I did. Reputation is the best way to build a corp, because people don't like taking chances. This leaves small corps that have potential at a glass ceiling, because A-Team clutch crushers don't want to join a "maybe' corp, they want to be in a 'happening' corp.
I did have a history with some players.
But if you think much of my a-team had a ******* clue who i was you're out of your mind. 
Frost Kitty had no ******* clue who i was, neither did jenova, neither did ttw3, neither did xdreams, neither did remnancy, or Chances Ghost, or D4GG3R, or dwater, FabryX10, or mark bass, or MarasdF Loron, or psycho tanker, or wolfica, or a bunch of other of our players.
You got rejected because you talk so much more than your gungame can back up.

It's true that some people like joining **** while at the top. But people also like building ****...I only went to TP because I WAS taking a chance...I had no ******* clue who TP was...they weren't some amazing corp that **** on everyone...they'd won a small corp tourney that had 6 teams..and lost to my previous corp PFBHz...but I chose to go there and convinced my homies Spinner and ZDub and we helped build it up into what it became.
