Some other people have said, but I will repeat. There is NO WAY Houston is getting invited if they only add 2. What benefit does Houston bring to the northerns schools? I don't even understand why Baylor and TCU would do it, except pressure from Texas.
Houston's shot is if they go to 14. Those schools compromise but letting them in for the exchange of UConn and Cincy, or UCONN and UCF. Something along those lines. Houston adds nothing.
Houston is just preparing the league for Texas's departure. Once Texas is gone, Baylor, TCU, and Texas Tech have zero grasp on the Houston market for the B12. At that point, Houston rivals UConn as the best addition available to the remaining schools - much bigger market than Cincy with better proximity.
If Texas were never going to leave the B12, then Houston would make no sense. But Texas is planning to leave.
