It's nice to see UH getting some attention, and gaining prominence. Too long has this institution been in the shadow of UT, A&M, Tech, and several others in the Lone Star State.
What really got my attention was this sentence:
Without membership in a Power 5 conference -- something Houston is aggressively seeking under president and chancellor Renu Khator--- that will be difficult.
Would a school be a better fit for the Big 12 than U of H? It gives the Big 12 a university located smack in the center of the coveted Houston TV market, it increases the conference by one (and some say Cincinnati might be a wise pick to get to the magic dozen), and it renews cherished memories of the gone-but-not-forgotten Southwest Conference. Plus the football Cougars already show they can play with the big boys.
Why not? Here's hoping the decision-makers do the right thing.
