Where are you getting your numbers?

UofH: 300,000 alumni

TTU: 240,000 alumni

I don't pretend to be an expert, but Houston surpassed TTU a long time ago.  Per US News and World Report, they both stink academically: UofH 184th and TTU 219th.  Baylor is 77th, TCU is 89th, SMU is 72nd; all three are academic giants comparatively, which likely explains the wealth generation of their respective alumni in comparison to UofH and TTU.  P.S. Louisville is 182nd.

I'm no proponent of adding TCU, Baylor, and SMU but they each are more of an academic fit for the ACC and more valuable as they are both far wealthier than TTU alumni.

If you are looking a metro markets, the decision of SMU or UofH is obvious.  TCU at third.
