Why is Houston not trying to court the Big XII? They had a few good years in the old Southwest Conference.
A few years ago they hosted Texas at Robertson Stadium in Houston. They put a bunch of temporary bleachers in one of the endzones and sold all of those tickets to Texas fans. About four days before the game, they announced that the bleachers were unsafe and couldn't be used. Deloss Dodds swore he would never play them again, and they haven't.

1) They won more SWC titles than Texas Tech did in half the time.
2) Houston would love to be in the B12 but the problem with that is Kevin Sumlin, let me explain:
Since Art Briles skipped off to Baylor and Sumlin came in KS has made a point of making UH very visible in Houston, there is not a night that that guy isn't somewhere hosting a radio show or QA session. He has started to keep top Houston recruits in Houston which is hurting Texas / Baylor / Tech / A&M, the B12 boys don't want them head to head because it would be huge boost to that program.
Sumlin is doing at UH what Patterson did at TCU building a program from the ground up and doing a lot with nothing.
