Message: [QUOTE="Towney007, post: 3101740, member: 5832"] I think it's because they're the schools he thinks he can keep. Long story, short - we're probably the school that wants out of this conference the most and would leave the quickest given the circumstances. I'd say ditto for Cincinnati. UCF is probably the most appealing add to a major conference at this point you'd think, so that's probably why they're not there, either. Memphis wasn't even invited to present at the Big XII gig, so they're on the outside. SMU and Tulane are probably life partners at this point. Houston's hoops program goes back to sleep once Sampson is gone, their football program is what it is... they're probably here forever, too. I mean basically, Rice and Middle Tennessee State are probably more valuable in those talks at this point then we'd be.... seeing as they're probably more likely to be in this conference in 3-4 years than we are.
