Basically, it’s different ways of saying the same thing—the all too real possibility of losing is driving the decision. I’ve always thought it would be a good move for the fans of teams like Texas and Aggie to play UH on a home and home (especially if the Houston games are played in NRG). Hopefully, we wouldn’t be dumb enough to say no this time around.
My guess is it only happens if state legislators get involved like they have is some other states. It would make sense for them to figure out how to use scheduling to remove some red ink from state universities.
This is your downside of UH and Rice sharing the same city. UH gets the better conference affiliation because of your size. As long as Rice is willing to do two-for-ones and play at NRG, the others will schedule the Owls to play in front of Houston-area alumni and recruits.
We could work together . . .
