Houston seems like a natural fit given their old SWC ties. Hell, Rice and SMU share that lineage as well. Snatch them up.
Houston fans seem to think the offer is in the mail to them and Cincinnati.

The biggest issue was that the SWC had too many private schools and schools located in redundant markets. With A&M now out and Rice non-competitive, bringing Houston back is likely not an issue.
Uh-huh, and adding UC wouldn't drain money from the B1G. UT already has more eyeballs in Houston than UH ever will.
Splitting the Texas pie into too many pieces was a death sentence 25 years ago and it's a death sentence today. Adding TCU was a strategic error & adding Houston would just compound that mistake. If the B12 wants to survive another 50 years it's going to have to grow outside it's borders.
Unfortunately for them there are no candidates that actually bring more money than they take.
No, the Big XII is a mid major conference with one power football team, Oklahoma, and one power basketball team, Kansas. Texas' goose was cooked once Aggy went to the SEC and became the premier Texas Power - their only chance at regaining power status is to go to another conference, but their arrogance keeps them from doing it.Heck, they could take four of them and go to 14. Instead of 4 power conferences with 16 teams, it looks like we're on the way to 5 power conferences with 14 teams.

Need to add a ".....then continued to cry about not being in the playoffs". Would have been one thing if Msu shut him up.
I've mentioned this before, albeit much more sober than you were at the time you wrote this. I like it because it admits that these schools aren't worthy, and it makes it funnier if they STILL don't get in.Instead of a BIGXII title game, what is stopping them from teaming up with the American Conference and playing a interconference Championship game? One more chance to pit top 25 teams against each other to showcase
Maybe one extra win against the American champion (Houston) would have been enough had Baylor hypothetically remained at one-loss (Or heck, even Houston sitting at 12-1). Shoot, play it on a Friday so that Army-Navy can still have this weekend. There wasn't sh*t on for sports last night.
edit - derp. my drunken idea is ruined if Navy wins the American.
Yay for brain damage. Seriously though I remember seeing that hit real time and I thought he was out for the game. Felt so bad for him. Then they showed it like 5 more times on replay. Real speed looked a lot worse than replay.Never gets old
