Please explain to me again why Houston would be a bad addition to the Big12

[VaultHunter]

Anybody?

 

[MountaineerWV]

Because Texas says so.....and they control and run the decisions of the Big 12.

 

[ColoradoMountaineer]

Because they don't provide a new television market

 

[LowFatMilk]

I think the Big 12 pretty much has the state of Texas covered.

 

[skygusty]

Doesn't do much for expanding the footprint. Most of the country already thinks this is the Texas League. Nice win though.

 

[Montanivado]

Anybody?

I would think Texas, Texas Tech, TCU, & Baylor want every perceived recruiting advantage they can keep versus Houston, which is already doing better than some of them in Texas.

 

[Soaring Eagle 74]

Anybody?

Why does the Big 12 need to expand? OU has proven we can get a team into the playoff without a conference championship game. Would adding Houston increase or decrease our league revenue? Wouldn't it be better for the Big 12 to dump WVU and replace us with Houston or BYU?

 

[Buster68]

Too much tejas already.

Im not exactly sure what the fascination with Byu is

I think the Big12 was a bad move for us. Too much travel and we don't recruit well enough to win it. The only benefit is money because nothing else has gotten better from the move

We recruit about the same as ever one else except for Texas and Oklahoma since we have been members of the conference according to rivals

 

[CAJUNEER]

Anybody?

Actually, I agree. Instead of buying a brand the B12 should take 4 schools and build the brand.

So you'd rather WVU was out of major college athletics and playing Temple, ECU, SMU, Tulsa, etc.--traveling even more than now but not getting any compensation or coverage? Yeah brilliant idea.

 

[WVUFanForever]

I always love how our fans over-react to things like one victory.

 

[SKYHAWKBALL]

Exactly. For some reason,a crap load of people on here salivate at the idea of adding BYU. And this isn't the same BYU that LaVell Edwards coached.

Guessing BYU fans maybe? Its not like there aren't people here with something WVU in their screen name but with no affiliation.

 

[spreadoption]

Would be a bad addition because the Cougars actually play defense.

 

[Beechurst]

BYU has an awesome stadium setting.

Utah has at least four gorgeous national parks -- plus Monument Valley and Four Corners. It is within a day trip of Death Valley, the Grand Canyon, the Petrified Forest and Hoover Dam. Mountains. Canyons. Hoodoos. Buttes. Arches. Mesas. Red rock. Lakes of salt. Tabernacle choirs.

You take Manhattan. I'm in for Provo.

Anybody?

BIG12 does not need another team in Texas, do you need more?

 

[LowFatMilk]

Since this point has been made clear to him about a 1000 times in multiple threads...I'm thinking he needs more.

 

[Mountaineer Steve]

I would prefer two teams from the east, but BYU, is the only non p5 program that can almost hold their own weight financially.

I guess some people just can't get it
