RE: The Case for Rice in the new Metro Conference
Rice is an excellent small college with a large endowment. Great college baseball program.

I live in Houston. Rice has virtually no fans. It is too small to be noticed with the competition around here. The living alumni base wouldn't fill their stadium. The casual fan in the Houston metro will follow UH and not Rice. Rice doesn't really have a shot at getting those casual fans either Rice doesn't add any television revenue or interest.

I can't understand why a conference focusing on potential would be interested in a school which doesn't really have any potential to generate more revenue than it takes from television contracts, tourney shares, etc.
