Houston isn't really loved by the other Texas schools for whatever reason. Your ratings are low, your attendance is low and your on field performance right now is low. I think it would have been Houston too, but I also heard BYU as the fourth team.

Memphis Cincy and UCF have the best ratings (along with USF) by far. There is a big gap between those four and the fifth team. They have the best attendance. Houston has the biggest market but most of the people in Houston are Texas fans I guess.

Edit: ECU has great attendance too, but their viewership is 1/3 of the top four teams.

this is great and all... but it is already confirmed the big 12 have barely talked about the expansion ....

but that the only 3 confirmed teams they talked about is BYU, Cincy and Houston....

Quote:they talked on a shallow surface of, ‘What do we do if Oklahoma and Texas leave?’ And they talked about Cincinnati, Houston, BYU. They’re all great programs, but none that obviously bring the value of Oklahoma and Texas and those brand names

there has not been 1 legitimate media outlet to link memphis to the big 12 through sources ..and numerous from 2016 that said memphis wasnt in the running

im not going to argue who is better from ratings or whatever...it doesnt matter how we justify anything to ourselves it wont make a difference, to the decision makers, our opinions dont matter.. its who are linked from legitimate sources...

the "i know a guy thing" was the same thing memphis did in 2016 till official media sources said otherwise
