Bids were placed before May 15. Did you really expect UH, or ANY TEAM for that matter, to outbid the riche$t athletics program in the nation?
That said, NCAA hasn't been kind to UH this year. Although we had the resume to host, we were forced to travel to one of the toughest ballparks in the country, for the second-toughest (by RPI) regional in the country. We beat LSU in Baton Rouge, and what's our reward? More travel...
#2 Houston travels to #6 Texas.
Which one of these hosts is not like the other?

No surprise that $$$ wins in the NCAA, but still disappointing that it's not based on resume at this stage.
