Message: [QUOTE="shantydaze, post: 1843797, member: 666"] BYU has a national following and has decent academics. Houston and Cincy's academics are below average. Cinci adds a new area of the country, albeit one dominated by Ohio State. Houston adds nothing in terms of market once (if) a conference network is established. Further, by adding another Texas team the conference becomes even more regional, one of the reasons the Texas state dominated SWC broke up. If Texas is pushing for Houston, it almost seems like it wants the conference and/or to fail as Houston's addition will limit interest nationally and, thereby, limit viable markets and value of a conference network. If the country does not care enough about UT sports to make the LHN network profitable, why would adding another Texas school change that? [/QUOTE]
