I don’t know? That’s what you all say about us st Mississippi State. Houston hasn’t been any better than us the last 40 years, but we are supposed to accept mediocrity. Why can’t they?

I don't know who says Miss St should accept mediocrity. They shouldn't. And the idea that UH should just accept it is absurd. UH wants to win, and Fertitta is apparently willing to foot the bill.

UH may never get in the Big12, but their failure to invest in athletics in the 80s and 90s left them on the outside looking in. If there's an opportunity to improve their standing down the road, they want to do everything they can to take advantage of it.
