Do ents show Big 12 Flirting with Houston, Memphis, others

[DMX7]

I thought sure Tech wouldn't want to fight Houston for east Texas recruits either. Oh well.

Let's be honest, they don't want Houston in the Big XII but they don't want to play the bad guy for trying to keep a fellow Texas team out of the conference. So publicly they are going to say they support Houston. I guess I'm ok with Houston in the Big XII.

I know Texas is trying to build a 300 acre satellite in Houston and needs UH support to do so. Imo, it's why the governor and many Texas admins have supported Houstons inclusion in the Big 12.

If they really didn't want Houston, I'd think the smart play would be just to not say anything

That would be interpreted as saying no.

Houston already dominates the out of recruiting in their area. There doesn't seem much to lose, and having another strong football school helps everyone. The odds of the coach sticking around increase greatly if UH join a P5 conference.

Looks like this expansion is being held up due to UT-OU bickering about Houston and BYU; This could be bad for the Big Smell in the long run. Currently the metrics have the conference easily the worst out of the power 5 and not that much better than the AAC.

Money is to lose. There's no guarantee that adding any more schools adds value to the Big 12
