The online poll asks if UH should be invited to join:

Yes - 64%
No - 36%

Amazing how he has been able to whitewash his connection to the mob

Win games and you get papers talking about you going into the insert power 5 league here.

Read the tweets and comments, creating negative buzz for Houston

Nothing new there, he has been doing this for awhile. Nothing will come of it.

Cow said no. If cow doesn't want you in their conference, you ain't getting in. Hart should take the UT AD out for a few drinks to talk it over and get us in the Big 12.

Out of the 8 responses (6 twitter & 2 comments), 2 specifically mention attendance (only 30,000) as a reason to exclude. Can only imagine the ridicule for SMU's 10-15K.

I just can't see the TX schools adding another in-state school. We may have earned it on the field but TCU was obviously very fortunate with the timing.

No one left (besides ND) moves the needle in terms of TV dollars, so why would B12 add anyone and have to split the TV revenue more ways? I think Texas would rather take their ball and go to the Pac-12 rather than play in the same conference with the likes of Memphis or Cincinnati.

Let's all just add him to our foe list and ignore him, that way his inane drivel will be visible to no one

Oh, gee, look at that. A restaurant owner in Houston wants UH in a major conference. That wouldn't have anything to do with bringing Okie and Okie State fans in by the tens of thousands to his business, would it?

Do we "push" for anything? (at all?)

[CalallenStang]

He wants the legislature to force UH in.

This is an act of desperation. As desperate as Orsini's SMU2BIG12
