I agree, and the point is that Texas is using their free pick so to speak on UH.  OU, with this quote, is saying sorry you don't get two.  Has there been any actual evidence of significant Big 12 interest in Memphis other than the Chip Brown (via UT AD's office) vague "gaining momentum" quotes?  Yes, other articles have had them listed as contenders along with six or seven others, but I can't remember any other information specifically noting them as having interest from the conference in any meaningful regard.  Now, in addition to the Texas quote, we have a quote presumably from Boren unequivocally rebuking the notion of having Memphis in the Big 12.

WestHartHusky's argument above is spot on, OU didn't give some kind of we'll look into them and see about it response, it was a put your foot down, draw a line in the sand, stone cold NO.  There's absolutely no other way to interpret the text of what was said.  Of course it's not a stone cold guarantee that Memphis absolutely will not get in, but it's one hell of a barrier, especially coming from OU.
