'Billion Dollar Buyer' star makes strong case for Houston in the Big 12 A powerful board of regents chairman at Houston believes the Cougars are not only a no-brainer for Big 12 expansion, they should already be in the conference cbssports.com

Houston chairman thinks Texas is too scared to let the Cougars into the Big 12 There's a lot of history between Houston and its Big 12 counterparts around Texas. sbnation.com

Texas booster Red McCombs tells ESPN radio in San Antonio, Big 12 needs to expand by 2 teams: "Houston & your choice of several others"
Yes, because adding Houston kills the TV network and kills the likelihood that OU sticks around. It may sound good in parts of Texas but it makes no sense every where else. The Big 12 is in survival mode, not invite two random teams to split the pot 12 ways instead of 10.This is exactly what can happen in these situations. Metrics are all in, they should drive the decision in one direction, and then an influencer from the old boy network steps in and metrics step out. Not saying it will, but would anyone be shocked if it did.
I thought you just said uconn is,getting invited to a p5 this summer? I thought uconn had a plethora of options? What is going on here???If I was the Big 12 I would select Houston and UConn. That would have by far the most long term upside. UT always looks down at Houston's inferior academics so that may be a barrier. But deep down Houston has tons of potential in football and UT doesn't want to wake that sleeping giant.
Now in any business field someone may win because they outwork everyone else - in that case Cincy would get the nod.
Having said that the window will close very soon on UConn and the Big12 hasn't demonstrated an ability to take fast and strategic action. In CR the choices you have today aren't the choices available tomorrow.

Good on them for thinking this wasn't related to Texas being bad and Houston having an insanely good year. When Texas returns to being Texas, there really won't be much of a comparison here.This is now part of the UH Campaign:
