Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1486265, member: 2141"] The only college who wants Houston is U Texas as it allows them to expand (likely agreeing to either Memphis or Cincinnati) and thus improve the conference's football playoff chances while increasing U Texas's power in the Austin political scene (at the expense of A&M). Baylor will go along with U Texas as their P5 survival without the XII is less certain than some of their conference mates (Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, OK St). The only reason that Oklahoma would support Houston, because they should as heck do not want another Texas school beholden to the Long Horns to deal with inside the XII, is if they are already packing their bags and want to monetize their XII investment before bolting. The Sooners know that for the XII to survive, the conference needs to not just expand; but, expand into new markets - Florida, BYU, UConn, etc. [/QUOTE]
