I am always interested when I see someone assert some school as a value to the ACC that I think of no value. In your case, that school is Houston. TTU averages about 20K more fans per football game than Houston. TTU also has about 3 times the booster power that Houston can muster. For that, see first the co-Chair with Nick Saban of the Presidential commission on CFB Cody Campbell. Houston has never had a booster remotely close to his power in college athletics or to his proven ability and desire to donate to his school.

Houston was the last school to join the SWC in the 1970s and so never had any real rivalry with SMU, or any SWC school except for maybe hometown Rice.

On the other hand, If the Big 12 wants Syracuse, Yormark will pitch pairing Syracuse with UConn. He has always wanted UConn in the Big 12, and that makes 0 sense unless he can get Syracuse too. And he might then also want BC, because even before the BE was founded, UConn relied on playing BC in many sports. I would assume that he would find The BackYard Brawl appealing, but I don't think he would covet Pitt.

What is a Syracuse fan's favorite color?
