Texas TV markets...

[Dutch]

saw this on a real estate blog, but thought would be relevant here. when these other conferences (besides the BigTX) are looking to gain TV exposure, here's where Texas and DFW & Houston fall in line with the rest of the country...

[ericdickerson4life]

WOW. I knew we had large TV markets in Texas but I had no idea that both the DFW area and Houston were so large. Makes a damn good argument for why SMU needs to be in a BCS conference, not called the B12. Guess you could say the same for Houston and TCU as well.

[Dutch]

is there any doubt why UT has so much leverage over the rest of teh BigTX? only state in the top 25 besides them is Missouri, with a quarter of the population, all in KC & SLu.

[ericdickerson4life]

Yep. It also goes to show why UT is slow on giving up on or giving concessions on the LHN.

Now consider 100 Million + in the Footprint of a potential PAC 16 plus this is the area with the biggest potential future growth
