I'm new at this forum but I wanted to ask everyone on what's their opinion on having the Houston Cougars if the ACC were to expand?
Wouldn't it help create a network by having the #10 market and also get you into Texas recruiting grounds?
Thanks!
The Big 12 is your best bet. Curious as to why your first post is on the ACC board?
Simply out of curiosity and the love of expansion talk. Though I do admit, wanting to know what's everyone's opinion on the Cougars, but mostly to get y'alls input on these points:
A) Looking at the conferences that doesn't have a Texas school to give them access to Texas grounds are the ACC, Pac-12 and the B1G. Wanted to get everyone's input as to what their opinion is about Houston being a candidate for an ACC expansion (if it happens).
B) As long as the Longhorns has a flagpole so far up their ass, UH's chances getting into the Big 12 are slim to none, especially if they don't want a recruiting war between the other four Texas schools.
C) I've seen many comments where Texas goes to the ACC, SEC, Pac12 or B1G. Probable, yes. Happening, I'm not sure on the simple reason that I doubt the Longhorns relinquish their role as a feudal lord and feel equal to any other programs in another conference if the bolt out of the Big12. So based on that, it bars the question that in case Texas is not available four courting, would Houston be a possible candidate?
D) Some of you can give me an input on this, but I'm not sure to what extend the deal the Big 10 is trying to get with Fox Sports will affect the ACC. Would it cause them to expand into a new market and add a network?
Thanks!
