Yal bout to see why these coaches don't want Houston in the BIG12


There's so much talent down there it's crazy

And they love their hometown

They would never leave

It would pretty much be Miami U in the 90s

Not even an exaggeration

Already

Ward was really on point that last drive and those WRs been making some plays. That FG return too WHOO

The playbook, the play calling, the route combos...I'm an amateur and even I can see the beauty,

They were in the SWC. Had a dynamic and innovative offense. And got left when the big 12 started. It wasn't because of the being a threat.

Three years of probation didn't help.

Then offering nothing in tv markets.

And then this fiasco in 2001 didn't earn them any favors

But you're incorrect with why they're not being in the Big 12 initially and a poor fit to be added. The new additions focus around providing TV markets to expand a cable offering. The Houston market is already tapped.

So that theory makes no sense

It's recruiting bruh

Sorry

It's not about the people watching. It's about the number of subscriptions.

Edit:BIG12 network doesn't exist anymore. Didn't even know that

Will not positively impact cable subscriptions

Big 12 Network never got off the ground
The service providers don't make money on how many people tune in, they make money on how many people have to purchase their packages. It's how Maryland became and option for the Big10, not because they were a good team, but because that got them a few quarters for every cable television subscriber in the DC to Baltimore region.
So for the providers they want large markets that they're not currently in, which is why teams like Colorado St, BYU, and Cinn are in the discussion.

For the teams, they want bodies. If they can pick up two new teams, they get another negotiating chip for their portion of the cable rights. It's a money option first.

Secondly it becomes about academics. Sports partnerships lead to academic partnerships. Which is why Texas and Oklahoma to the Big 10 were even floated, while Texas to the SEC was not. It would diminish their academic standing.

After that it's a mix of things, culture, recruiting (the big prize after Texas isn't more Texas, it's California), additional sports (Big 12 is pretty good at basketball), long term stability, voting power within the conference ... it goes on.


Houston is in consideration, and still may make the conference. But I gave you reasons why they weren't included initially, why they weren't in consideration after, and why they're not the first choices in the future. None of which is fear.

But if u think OU,OKS,KU, Kstate as well as TCU ain't fearing this then I don't kno what to tell u

From what I'm reading it looks like UT is on board

Those other schools aren't really getting folks from Houston. TCU should have Dallas on lock. But they don't.

I can't call it.

On vouges even

actually...any job available will be Hermans for the taking after this season is over ...

USC fucked up big time by not going after him.

If Oklahoma doesn't bounce back and has a disappointing season it might be time for an amiable split between Stoops and Oklahoma and I would not be surprised to see Herman replace him.

Yes, if Strong doesn't have a good season and if ND beats Texas tomorrow like they did last year then the chatter on Texas sports radio to replace Strong with Herman will loud on Monday.

that job is his until he wants to leave, i just dont see OU forcing him out...

he could get tired and want to seek new pastures but thats the only way i see him leaving norman
