Texas is also considered apart of the Gulf Coast too since


it borders the Gulf of Mexico. Even though the ACC has 2 members in Florida, it may decide it wants to add another state from that region. If that is the case, then UAB may be the only one that makes any sense. Now that doesn't mean UAB would be a slam dunk choice because it does have its drawbacks too. However, adding a member from the state of Alabama would place less of a travel burden for away games than having a member in Texas.

Even if the ACC decided to add 3 or 4 members from the state of Texas, teams would still have to deal with travel issues. To reduce the amount of traveling teams would have to do during the season, it would most likely force the ACC to arrange the schedule so all ACC teams have to do a road trip in the state of Texas similar to what the Pac-12 does. The downside to that strategy is that it could mean the players are not in the classroom for an entire week.
