So it makes sense to take a team that doesn't even own their market...

struggles to fill their smallish stadium, begs fans to come out to basketball games and gives free tickets away that still result in empty seats... and he wants to assume that pulling Houston into the BIGXII will all of a sudden magically take viewers away from A&M? Houston will win viewers over A&M? Does he really believe that?

Houston vs A&M? Really?

The reason why Matich says UH is #1 choice for B12...

I'm sure the SEC is chomping at the bit to add Houston.

LOL. Exactly.

Florida + FSU OR Miami >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>aTm + Houston ... Please...

I don't think he was talking about UH, but Houston the city.

It's champing and I'm similarly skeptical.

Yes, Yes.. SEC is like, hey we are looking to add a program that makes us worse.

Apparently that is what the B12 is doing.

Would make sense if anyone cared about Houston's football team. Unfortunately

Houston is dominated by TAMU and UT. Period.

Carnac el Magnifico

8/16/16 2:47pm

LSU is in that group too.

Matich is very pro-BYU, so I give him a pass.

8/16/16 2:48pm

Yeah I really don't think his tweet is meant to downplay us. Afterall his ends

Really Matich? Houston is what will keep the SEC out of south texas?

Grit for Brains

8/16/16 2:48pm

Not UH, Houston the city is what he was trying to say.

TheLoneCougar

8/16/16 3:10pm

Right, but UH has nothing to do with it all. Hence the ridiculous position.

Grit for Brains

8/16/16 3:11pm

Yeah, this is the reason he's given all along. Can't even imagine the SEC adding UH, but that's Trev's thinking.

Um...Matich...Houston was/is solidly an A&M town

Since the Big12 isn't adding only 1 team, it's irrelevant which order

Indy Coug

8/16/16 2:52pm

I'd still feel better if we were 11 just to be safe

franklyvulgar

8/16/16 2:57pm

the other team will be close to WV

This makes no sense

Actual footage of him missing the mark on this one...

Matich done lost his mind.

BYU #9 in Houston, #5 in Dallas

HawkeyeCoug

8/16/16 3:01pm

Better wrap up Rice, SMU, USMNT and UTEP while you're at it.

8/16/16 3:04pm

Matich isn't trying to say the SEC is/wants to add UH.

TheLoneCougar

8/16/16 3:12pm

Using Matich's reasoning...

8/16/16 3:18pm

Because he knows BYU is in and doesn't want to look like a homer always favoring his alma mater

Hougar

8/16/16 3:18pm

He's just trying to seem like an objective journalist that isn't a homer of his

46in96

8/16/16 3:22pm

He could accomplish that without this kind of logical disconnect.

RichieRich

8/16/16 3:41pm

There's nothing wrong with being a homer. Especially if the data backs you up.

Meanwhile, somewhere in SECland, some AD is asking their assistant to confirm

Wedgetail

8/16/16 4:48pm

He really does think that UH is the first choice. Said it on Dallas radio.

8/16/16 5:31pm

BYU fans say our game attendance would go up if playing B12 teams, why not UH's?

BYUfan92

8/16/16 5:52pm

BYU will bring far more fans to the TV screen from across the country.

B12 has teams in Austin, Lubbock, Waco and Ft. Worth yet it doesn't own Houston,

My guess is the most popular college football teams in Houston goes like this:

SpiffCoug

8/16/16 7:41pm

I think based on previous reports BYU was higher then Houston.

whiteninja

8/16/16 7:46pm

Further proof adding Houston doesn't help Big XII capture the city.

SpiffCoug

8/16/16 7:48pm

See a few posts above. BYU is #9 in Houston
