Will Texas Politics Determine Big 12 Expansion?

Yesterday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott threw in his two cents regarding Big 12 expansion. For him, Houston must be included, as his tweet below explains. Later in the day, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick joined in with his support for adding Houston.

Big 12 expansion is a non-starter unless it includes University of Houston. @UHouston https://t.co/AnHB4dIGnc

I join with @GregAbbott_TX - any BIG 12 expansion must include @UHouston or NO DEAL!
