In terms of content, a lot of it is too vague and for no good reason. For example...

Houston
Still mentioned as a potential MWC candidate with TCU now in.
Long shot: joins with Big East football members
Long shot: if the Big 12 lost 7 members and sought replacement to maintain the Big 12, they could be a potential target.
What conference is TCU in? Where is the logic for joining the Big East? Wouldn't specifically UT and A&M have to go for the Big 12 to have an interest in TCU? Isn't it their contention that they already deliver DFW?
It would be better if it read:
Quote:
Houston
Mentioned with UCF in several articles as a potential BE candidate - could be TCU's travel partner.
Also mentioned with UTEP and SMU as possible MWC members
Possible: joins with Big East football members
Possible: joins MWC
Long shot: if the Big 12 lost UT and A&M and sought replacement to maintain the Big 12, they could be a potential target.
I'd say you could do even better than that.

Houston
Not unhappy in CUSA, but along with UCF a frequently reported target of the Big East should they decide to expand. Also there is some speculation that Houston and UTEP might have their eyes on the MWC.
Specs:
Not a stateflagship or a school with strong statewide support. Offers some presence in the Houston DMA, improving academics with a newly earned VH research designation, a strong football program and a solid basketball program.
Possible: joins with Big East football members to secure AQ status
Possible: joins MWC for a marginal conference upgrade.
Long shot: if the Pac-12 comes for UT, A&M, and OU again, Houston with their new research designation could now be tolerable to the Pac 12 and could be part of a package to secure A&M via state political channels.
Long shot: if the Big 12 lost UT and A&M and sought replacement to maintain the Big 12, they could be a potential target.
I admire the fact that you link things. I am lot more willing to commit the less widespread speculation and rumors to print without very credible links than you, so some of that may be more than you would want your name on, but that really isn't what I am getting at. The important thing is to make it updated and each line clear. I think that is lacking today.
You would do well to adopt a format you like that offers good flexibility but displays consistency from entry to entry and then rewite each entry from scratch. IMO.
I would also suggest writing a overall conference gameplan. What the conference might do in certain scenarios. That seems lacking and would be better there in one place than repeatedly throughout the member profiles.
