I don't get the Houston love. Especially over BYU.

Coach Herman was complaining about fans not turning out for the team last year when they were unbeaten and highly ranked.

I'm not sure who the best two options are, but I can't believe they would leave out BYU. Either invite them for football only or accommodate the Sunday thing (something that doesn't even affect football and is easy to work around men's basketball, the rest of the sports are far less significant).

The Big XII's biggest problem is the lack national exposure. BYU gives you some of this with fans spread throughout the nation, not to mention a team with legit P5 attendance, and in a new region.
