Sensible? The most "sensible" pick would have been the pick to become the Big XI if Baylor was the only option left.
They wanted to have an even number of teams and Baylor was winning at the time...
Not so fast . . . by measures of recent success - Houston would have been the best pick. They could have had the Houston Market and a team that was churning out NFL talent (and even a heisman winner) in the late 80s, early 90s. If Ann Richards had been a UH grad - I am willing to be that the Courgars would be in the Big 12, or that the Big 12 would not have been allowed to exist . . .
