You sound like the old time ACC people who kept repeating Dook basketball coach Vic Bubas on why WVU never should be allowed in the ACC: terrible access to Morgantown, especially from south of the town.

Bubas made the case when there was no inter-state, nor even a 4 lane state highway into Morgantown, and no airport there big enough to handle a plane larger than maybe a dozen seats.  But the catch is that what Bubas said was totally out of date by 1970.

As for TTU, first, Lubbock is NOT in the TX panhandle. Second, and much more important, TTU is the most important university, and only significant winner in the 3 most important collegiate sports, in the entirety of western TX. Third, Campbell is far from the only rich alum and/ot west TX native who is a big money booster for TTU sports. Fourth, the TV market with the largest number of TTU alums is DFW - the most important TV market in TX and the entire southwest. TTU alums in DFW greatly outnumber SMU alums there. Fifth, though west TX is too sparsely populated per sq. mile to allow for TTU to fill an 80K football stadium, it routinely sells close to its capacity of 60K. And how many current ACC members can say the same? In the same vein and much more important because TV deals are based on TV viewers drawn, west TX has more passionate CFB fans than all of NY state.
