From a Tech standpoint, it just looks like a no-brainer decision (just like most non-Tech folks could never understand why we'd travel in the WAC instead of playing closer to home in the SB). But the reason it won't happen (as awesome as it would be for Tech) is because Houston and SMU don't want to play with UTSA and UNT, and USF/UCF don't want to play with FIU/FAU. It doesn't have anything (or at least not much) with anyone wanting or not wanting to play with Tech per se.

If you swapped us and Tulane for some reason, you'd still get opposition to splitting that group geographically for the same reasons.
I agree with what you are saying. It is the reason we need to be trying to get in the Big East. Who would have ever thought that the Big East would be just as regional as CUSA for us.........
