They have shown for almost the last 10 years that they cannot compete at the FBS level and there's a likely chance they wouldn't win a conference with in-state rivals such as Tennessee-Chattanooga (whom they dodge on a regular basis), Tennessee State or Tennessee-Martin (whom they lost to in 2012 and almost lost to in 2013). It is also a relatively known fact that the top and middle tiers of FCS would manhandle Memphis.

That being said, they would definitely be a lot more competitive in football and should make the fcs playoffs every so often. Their basketball would have some decent competition in the OVC, Southern or even MVC so they wouldn't drop off much.

Thoughts?

Since 2002 Houston only has two bowl wins.
Since 2002 Memphis also has two bowl wins.

Funny.
