I definitely agree that Houston is a better get then WF. However, App's AD said that the WF series helped secure the UNC series, and Miami's AD said the App-WF series made it easier for them to explain scheduling a H&H with App... both, because WF was the first ACC program to schedule a H&H with App. Whatever ones opinion of WF is, they served a greater purpose for App, they broke the ACC seal and pioneered entry for other ACC programs to do the same and minimize (not eliminate) booster criticism.
You could be correct about UNC, but I find it really difficult to believe that a University with nearly $3B endowment and athletic department with nearly $100m budget needs to financially settle for a bus ride to Boone to play the most popular and profitable sport in the land.
