RE: UT president confirms that Houston os under heavy consideration for Big 12
I'm surprised he's being so public with his preference. Im betting there's probably pushback from others who are against adding another TX school, so he and the governor are applying pressure.

Regardless, this is great news for UH!

It is going to be Houston, UC, UConn, and BYU (probably).

or C texas knows houston is in and doing what they can to make sure that it is publicly known that ut "supports houston" and the reason we are in the big 12...

either to make us a pawn in their voting block or
ut-houston campus only flies if Houston says it it flies..."we got you in the big 12, help us out with the campus"

That is how it appears to me as well.

I'm thinking the motivation is to cover their ass in a "but I swear we tried!" type of way, regardless of the actual outcome.

That's a scenario I hadn't thought of and is a strong possibility. If being texas' ***** means getting into the big 12 so be it, we will just have to get revenge against them on the field.

Well either way that means they are going to have to vote yes for houston. Which means only OU would need to be locked up to get the required votes.
