I hear a lot of guys worried about other schools like Memphis or Houston. You all are forgetting one thing, its all about money $$$$. UC is almost a sure thing due to our market. Our metro region is a gold mine for the Big 12/TV companies.
Remember, Rutgers didn't go to the Big 10 for their outstanding athletics and academics. They got in bc the Big 10 wanted their market exposure.
Schools like Memphis lack in that dept. It's a smaller market. Big 12 doesn't want to expand in Texas with Houston. Why would they? I just hope it happens sooner than later.
