I've said this elsewhere, but if I'm BVDV and DR, I'm calling every Big 12 school that's not Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, and Texas A&M, pitching the idea that you can offer TCU/SMU/Houston, and Louisiana Tech, still have AQ status, and get an academically excellent school in Louisiana.
At the very least, CUSA hears about Tech reaching higher, makes them second guess picking other schools before Tech when a position opens up
It just kills me how they talk about breaking up the Texas schools, when they did just than when they killed the SWC.Quote:

And if status quo reigns, you're still happy because it could be so much worse. And if the worst really does happen, at least you were prepared. :)
Just become a Tech fan. Nothing seems to change around this place.:rolleyes4:Quote:

When the MWC and BE rumors swirled and died, I had to remind myself consistently: Wait, I *like* Conference USA. A lot of my fellow Coogs are pretty down on it, but all in all it's not a bad place for us to be at all (granted, my time here gives me a whole new appreciation for it...). But then I head "BIG XII!" and it all changes. The hardest part about it not happening is the fans shrieking about how we should drop football or join the Southland.Quote:

Well, this helped bring me back to earth. Kirk Bohls: "Top names UT, I mean Big 12, will consider from several sources: Notre Dame, BYU, Air Force in that order."
University of Houston's ace in the hole is its city. 6 Million people/potential TEXAS viewers in the nation's 6th-largest media market. I think you guys are in a very good position to get that invitation.Quote:
