Nothing about us,. But some interesting points regarding Big 12 at the 32min mark, about 20 minutes long.  Avoid any thing else,   By the way,  does USF have a similar style podcast?

I like that they aren't full of lies like their fans. They know they suck and they know they aren't getting in if the B12 adds only 2.

Maybe it's just that twitter brings out the stupid in people but to think that the Big 12 would eliminate a school from consideration over a lackluster opening game is ridiculous, eg. Cincinnati. And maybe it's me but seeing how good Houston was, If I was Texas, Texas Tech or even OU,  I would be more determined to keep them out. All they offer is pillaging of the recruits. Big 12 already owns the market. If you didn't care about A&M leaving why would you want Houston?

I dont agree with Houston diluting the Bg 12 product. They lost Texas A&M which is essentially a Houston market team.  So in actuality Houston serves as competition for Texas A&M and thus diluting the SEC product. Win for the Big 12. I think Houstons academics are slightly worse than ours but other than that I dont see any negatives for them.

It's the opportunity cost of not getting the FL markets.

It's becoming clear now that the only way USF gets into the Big 12 is if they expand by four teams.

I don't believe that anyone with a national voice has EVER said that USF would get into the B12 if only two teams are chosen.  It's not a new concept.

Like it or not.. we are the underdogs here, likely even to UCF which has a larger national visibility.

Didn't say they would dilute the overall product but they would even the curve which is not what Texas probably wants. There are two issues here: 1. What is good for the Big 12 and 2. What is good for the individual schools. You can't discount the second, especially in such a dysfunctional conference. Ideally they could do what the Big 10 did in Rutgers. They bring a market, a history, money yet pose little threat to poaching recruiting or taking over Ohio St or Michigan in football. Attractive, yet non-threatening.

Don't hire your replacement... (Baylor, Tx Tech, TCU).
