Travel cost is more about the access to a major airport rather than the distance itself. Plus, cost also factors all sports. Not just football. What does the vball team do?

The Houston/UCF/Cincinnati move from the AAC to the Big 12 broke USF and especially Memphis, UConn and SMU.
SMU managed to weasel their way into the ACC but watching Memphis crash out has been glorious. I hate Memphis and they hate Houston. The fact that they truly think we stole their spot because we played Texas politics makes this crash out even sweeter.
