And a good laugh at the conclusion. Despite UH ranking high in most categories they dismiss UH as a candidate because "Some speculate the Big 12 wouldn't want to add the Cougars, who'd be yet another in-state competitor for top Texas recruits."
Hey idiot have you seen last year's recruiting class and what we have for '18 we are competing Big 12 or not.

From the article anyone would conclude from these three points that UH would be a front runner. Who cares what some speculate.
  1. BYU is in the top three of every metric except media market size and endowment. However, the Cougars have a truly national (and somewhat international) fanbase, with alumni near plenty of large Big 12 cities. Recently, BYU outranks the Big 12 average in football quality, basketball quality, football attendance, and perceived academics.
  2. UConn is top-two in four different categories, but is also very far away from the Big 12's geographic center.
  3. Cincinnati and Houston are top-three in three different numbers. Cincy would fulfill West Virginia's wish to have a nearby rival. Some speculate the Big 12 wouldn't want to add the Cougars, who'd be yet another in-state competitor for top Texas recruits.
