Non-Key Tweets

There's no reason to believe this guy is reliable, he's just a guy with a Twitter account he created a couple of weeks ago, and is clearly a big UH fan. He formerly ran the @HoustonBig12 account, which is basically another UH fan account that has provided no relevant info on anything. He may or may not be right, but there's no reason to believe he actually has inside info.

Did you read his info? It says he's working to become and "insider" gotta be legit right?

(1/2) Both UCONN & Cinci are in the running for the 12th school in the Big12. Gordon Gee (WVU pres) likes UCONN for academics but

(2/2) The general consensus is that Cinci is an all around better school. Though UCONN has BB & academics, Cinci should be in the lead.

So, again Houston should get the invite for the Big12 by spring, IF the Big12 can decide between Cinci & UCONN in time-If not, 2017 #GoCoogs


Personally both are way better than Houston, this guy is just promoting his school.
 
I think Houston is a decent school and all but why would Fox or Espn.com pay 20 million more for something they already own...they can't really own Texas anymore other then getting A&M back. It's just buying something you already own.

In the past day I've read tweets from Cincinnati, BYU, and Houston, all claim they are no. 11, and the 12 is trying to find no. 12.

They can't all be right could they?

Clearly, CATV/internet service providers care far less about academics than TV viewer #s and current and future internet viewer #s such as UCONN's 11 million+ eyes. With all reasonable respect for different academic agendas and target markets, facts strongly support Houston's admission standards (SAT Reading 500-610, Math 540-640; ACT 22-27) and academics are roughly on par with Louisville CC. After 6 years, the latter now graduates about 50% of admitted students. For related comparisons, input Houston, Louisville, and any third school in the linked CollegeBoard.org page. Memphis is 1-part sad, 1-part tragic.

It's beyond me what goes through someone's head to make them want to be one of these make-believe insiders.

On the Houston Scout board, they said that he is related to a billionaire booster/Chairman of the Board of Regents of UH.

This is the chairman of the UH Board of Regents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilman_J._Fertitta

He's not in the immediate family. Also, if he were related to the Chairman, every single Houston beat writer would be taking his word and running stories based on it. Imagine if a family member of Susan Herbst said that we were a lock for the Big 12? Everyone in Connecticut would know about it.

Maybe he didn't want to deal with a bunch of Boneyarders pestering him all game about the B12.
 
It's Big 12 expansion tradition to state School X is #11 and they can't decide on #12. Started with Louisville back in 2011.
