re: TCU to vote no on Big 12 Expansion

Why are these schools voting no?
A TV contract is on the line. I'm confused right now Texas is eating and the rest of these schools are scrapping up the residue.
What is the thought process?

probably not satisfied with the options they have

I'm not sure either. Maybe they're worried that Houston will come in and destroy them all and take their recruits?

That seems to be the reason for the no vote. What does UH bring to the table? They'll dominate the Houston TV market with or without UH.

Because they want to kill their own conference. Honestly, it's going to be pretty humorous when Texas and OU bail and these other schools like Iowa State and Kansas State that are against expansion get left out in the cold.
They could have thought long term and added BYU and Houston to actually strengthen the conference but they're worried about short term and are worried they won't recruit as well in Texas if they expand so they'll follow along with everyone else. That'll eventually kill the conference and then those schools will act shocked like they didn't realize it could actually happen.

TCU voting no because scared of competing with Houston.
OU voting no because they secretly want the Big12 to dissolve so they can go elsewhere.

They're voting no because adding UH provides no benefit to any of them.
Adding Uh would only have a negative impact on every program in that conference.

Concerned about the Big 12 being watered down with mid-major programs.

If I am God and was deciding things for the Big 12 they have to take Cincy to start.
Gets the tri-state area picking up Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana for your network and recruiting. Obviously Ohio is a big get top players come out of Cincy to OSU/Michigan all the time. Breaks the 100+ year stranglehold on the state OSU has had
After that you can take whoever the hell gets you the biggest market. Doesnt even matter
