﻿Houston to The Big 12

"​Obviously we’ll look at the strength of the athletic programs, their competitiveness. We’re looking at the fan base; we’re looking at access to media markets. And also we’re very much looking at the reputations of these institutions for integrity. We’re looking at the academic standards of these universities, the level of research and teaching at these institutions…All of those things will come into play."

— David Boren, Big 12 Board Chair & OU President
