re: U of H search

Ah, yes, just what the Big 12 needs: another private school in North Texas with a student body of about 10,000. SMU doesn't bring much potential fan-wise. UofH has 40,000+ students and obviously tons of alumni in Houston who would fill that 40,000-seat stadium regularly in a decent conference.

SMU having money means nothing when 1) they hire guys like June Jones and 2) they have a history of using in slush funds for football players.

As for UofH having "horrid" academics, you're showing your ignorance. It's not a great school, but it's essentially as good as Tech or Okie State. Great law school. Major research institution. Becoming more selective. My guess is your perception of UofH's academics is as outdated as your perception of SMU's football prowess.

And yes, Texas was mad about something that happened in a stadium that no longer exists.
