[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129603852, member: 1459051"] Houston is already in the Big 12's footprint. There isn't extra money for adding the Houston market. (There isn't extra for anybody, because of the pro rata clause, but that's a different story.) There are a variety of political reasons for the governor favoring a specific school like Houston. The same thing happened with Baylor when the Big 12 formed. The Big 12 didn't really want Baylor, but the governor and legislature put pressure on the other Texas schools to push for Baylor's inclusion. Point being, the governor's stance likely has little to do with the Big 12 or sports, and is rather due to politicians supporting a school for political benefit. [/QUOTE]
