"Plus, if the Big 12 can hang together without Texas A&M -- and it appears it can -- then the state might get another bonus if Houston or SMU gets an invitation to college football's grown-up table."

Branch is an SMU alum, so you'd hope he would sneak our name in there.

Is it your assertion that UT doesn't have 3 times as many fans as everyone in every city except A&M?

UT might not have 3 times the fans that A&M does but its real close to double their fans.I can`t walk are drive ten feet in this town with out seeing something covered in burnt orange.And lets be honest no one cares about UH here

A small point is that the Longhorn Network may increase the appeal of a SMU going the conference, if UT wants to have one of their Big12 game broadcast on their network. SMU would make sense as a conference and in-state option. Rice would be the other, as a non-conference game.

looks like Berman is no longer on the Higher Ed committee..current members are mostly UT folks other than Branch.
