Push Houston to join the SEC. Threaten Texas A&M's state funding if their president doesn't make it happen.
See what I did there? Why is it the Big 12 Texas member's responsibility and not the SEC's Texas member's responsibility to get UH into a big boy conference?
SEC is maxed out...10 team "Big 12" is not. Besides, Houston sees that Big 12 takes on schools with crappy athletic traditions like theirs.Originally Posted by badger
They also see that the Big 12 has already become so watered down that Baylor, TCU, and Oklahoma State have won three of the last four conference titles. Their chances in a crappy conference such as the Big 12 are far better than in the SEC.

If OU would just bolt, and go to ANY other major conference ASAP, we would be well positioned. (Not that I would want to go to the BIG)

Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.
In case anyone's curious, what the other Big 12 big boy fanbase thinks about this:

You clearly pasted the wrong link. Here you go: http://www.baylorfans.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=289708
Siccy, you hate BF.com and that's why you hang out here.
All they had was Tayshaun Thomas...whoops.
Adding UH would greatly help their program, and be a determent to the rest of the conference. Look at Baylor as a perfect example. Even TCU to an extent (although they had a history of playing and beating tough teams prior to joining. The last thing I want to see is the conference turning Houston into the next Baylor.
You do realize that OSU went on to beat Stanford (the top 5 team that was led by #1 pick Andrew Luck) in a BCS bowl, and that TCU beat Ole Miss (the mighty SEC team that beat Bama and was rated in the top 10) 42-3?
Isn't THAT the truth? We've allowed Hypocrite U to leech off of the public schools in the Big 12 for too long! Their fan base couldn't fill Wacko High School stadium so due to all the stupidly generous other Big 12 schools they've gotten exposure they couldn't dream of before (and a helluva lot of money!). Inviting that lowlife school was the absolute worst thing the Big 12 did! I know the Sun Belt would LOVE to have that hypocritical university back where they belong! Some day.............

The only way I'd be OK with another Texas school is if we dump an existing one (or if they leave on their own)
IMO the Big 12 is in the midst of becoming the old SWC, and our best move, especially for recruiting Texas, is to GTFO and ASAP.

so you're saying we're all going to have to learn how to spell SCE over and over?
S-C-E! S-C-E!
i can't do it i can only spell two-letter words over and over.
O-U!
spoken like a lake stater. You're referring to a brand new league?so you're saying we're all going to have to learn how to spell SCE over and over?

After all the Big 12 has done to screw the conference up, why not?
Let's dump two teams and go back to being the Big 8.
I nominate Tech and Baylor

Smart move. Cut out the bottom and the top -- keep the middle.
I nominate us and Texas. The rest of ya'll fend for yourselves, Big 8, heh heh. We go indy or leave together to a far better place
