UT-Houston campus in Houston. However, UH has blocked it through the Texas state legislature.

Texas may push to get UH in the B12 in exchange for being allowed to expand their campus into Houston.

Listening to sports radio here in Oklahoma. These guys want us, and it's great.

So who did they want as 12?

Ideally poach another P5 program. Some want Cincy, some want Boise.

B12 is not poaching any P5.

Yeah, they know it's a pipe dream. Yet there is unrest in the PAC12.

Though it doesn't sound like they would be all that hot to take Colorado back.

Well... of course not. They aren't gonna be poaching Wake Forest...

Problem with Boise State is they add virtually nothing to the pot of the B12

I'd love to them get BYU and a P12 school, or even coax back Nebraska and mizzou

The Yewts have actually done fairly well as a PAC 12 member

Agreed. For the most part, Utah is a well-managed program.

The argument isn't whether they can win games (so could Houston); it's whether

Absolutely agree! Utah has done very well and been a plus for the PAC 12

Chazz Reinhold

I don't think that is their point...

CoachSpeak

In that respect, they're better than most of the other B12 candidates

Some say that both PAC12 and CU are experiencing buyers remorse these days.

If CU leaves, then who does Larry Scott pick up to keep the PAC at 12?

So true. Comparatively, BYU is getting on an elevator by joining. All the other schools are riding the space shuttle

I think we can excuse him for not knowing anything about Utah. No one cares

It is ironic that Utah has had a lot of recent success, but to many they still

That's because BYU is. By a mile. Utah's done well. But there's hill to

I think it's more the CU pick. We are more bitter about that.

Utah was a sensible choice for the PAC 10

You're asking if bringing in BYU is any different than Utah? lol, think hard
