Texas is dumb to want to bring UH up to P5 level. They're already getting hammered by Baylor and TCU in recruiting the last few years.

          I dunno. If back in 1994 someone would have predicted the following, I would not have believed any of it:
          Nebraska and Oklahoma in different conferences
          Texas and Texas A&M in different conferences
          Missouri and Kansas in different conferences
          BYU and Utah in different conferences

            UT wants an UT Houston campus without all the political drama. That is the only reason they are being an UH cheerleader (publicly). I am guessing behind the scenes they are not so much of a fan: "Sorry UH... We tried everything we could to get you in but it just wasn't in the cards with everyone else. Bummer. We are still good on our expansion into H-Town, right?"

                  Wasn't this the basic economical premise John Nash (A Beautiful Mind) won the Nobel for? So there is some validity if it were only the 2 big dogs barking at one another. What doesn't make much sense is why the other 8 schools would agree to a clearly inferior product. The other schools would presumably be smart enough to know that diluting their conference only empowers UT and OU and/or makes them easier picking when a better suitor (SEC) comes calling in the future.

                  • Bowing to Texas demands has nearly destroyed this once great conference several times. Anyone not named Oklahoma and Texas does not have a guaranteed landing spot is the implosion actually arrives. They would be be wise to vote in a block to shift power away from Texas.

                      Well, I guess that BYU and Utah aren't technically in different conferences.

                        I find your lack of faith disturbing. I know with every fiber of my being that BYU is already in the Big 12.

                          They certainly aren't in the same conference.
                          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                          • I haven't followed this closely, but just in general. I am thinking the feeling was 80% and now it is back to50/50. Is that correct?

                            • Why would it back to 50-50?

                                "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
