Houston, would not be in line for a SEC invitation in that the combination of LSU and A&M pretty well has the Houston market covered without having to take up another membership spot.

The ACC must go West, or it will eventually be absorbed. If the SEC and Big 10 carve up the Big 12 the financial inequity will eventually lead to the dismemberment of the ACC. What you are mistaken about is the need of Texas itself. Houston, and T.C.U. would give the ACC quite enough of Texas's markets to be able to survive.

There you go with your absolutes again. Doomed, absorbed, dismembered it's all a bunch of .
If the ACC goes big, we will max out at 18; adding West Virginia, Notre Dame, Cincinnati and South Carolina and remain an all ETZ conference.

The SEC would be free to add all of the value left out of the Big 12 (Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech).
