A case for Houston in the @Big12Conference. Recruiting slipping in the conference.
The Big 12's biggest concern should be its football talent drain

Interesting argument, but I think it makes more of a case for Cincinnati/UCF/USF/Memphis for new recruiting regions.

@frankthetank111 @dennisdoddcbs @Big12Conference -
Memphis and UCF now leap frogged UConn?

I wouldn't say that. The column was about recruiting and those are the candidates in top recruiting areas.

Many reasons why UConn would be attractive to Big 12 (academics, TV market, brand), but recruiting isn't one of them

I've long thought that Big 12 is too reliant on state of Texas (whose growth masks poor demographics elsewhere).

Houston's argument for Big 12 is less about recruiting and more about (a) shoring up its TV market and (b) politics.
