The situation in the Big 12 is a bit in flux largely because Texas got a special deal for its own television network. Geographically, Houston and SMU to the Big 12 makes sense. However, the scuttlebutt is that Texas would object to giving Houston the appearance of parity and the Big 12 just entered the Dallas-Ft. Worth market with TCU. SMU is indicated to formally accept the offer on Friday. However, I don’t see any such report with regard to Houston.
TCU in and Nebraska out is a plus for me. I like TCU.
Why is everyone’s nose out of joint about the Longhorns network? There’s nothing stopping them from signing similar deals. Especially the Sooners.
