Sadly I think the B12 has more dead weight than the P12……

Houston will either be a home run or a disaster. No in between.

It was a huge gamble, Houston is an amazing recruiting hot bed unfortunately

Huge city, fertile recruiting grounds, good facilities, administration willing to spend big

I get the knock on Boise, I’m just saying they shouldn’t have expanded

Houston has a great athletic department and a big alumni base. Academics aren't

This is Ute level delusion. Great athletic dept? They are marginally better than

As a G5 and before the expansion announcement, they poached a P5 coach. That's

WSU/OSU are a bigger fanbase, market, performance weight on the PAC…

WSU actually has decent viewership. Better than most B12.

Washington St is surprisingly above what you'd expect from their rep

WSU viewership trumps Houston by a long shot.

WSU's viewership has been benefited by P5 inclusion/teams. Houston will soon see

Wazzu's viewership beats a lot of teams

WSU viewership along with every PAC team will take a massive hit with the loss

Or it will blossom because their games are no longer hidden on P12 TV

Big12 teams have been more dependent on Texas/Oklahoma to boost their viewership than PAC12 teams have been on LA teams

Yea same thing applies. We will quickly see where real value lies

Hind sight is 2020. Who would have been better at the time? USF? CSU? SDSU?

Honestly I think Ohio St would have been the better choice over Alabama

Why not both?? Y’all are thinking too small.

Houston is much better positioned for long term success than WSU.

Much larger “top to bottom” gap in the PAC than the BigXII

I'd argue Houston is loosely on par with Wazzu but clearly ahead of Oregon St

You fail to mention that WSU/OSU compiled that record in a much more difficult
