It makes sense. Houston has a better athletics tradition than many of the current BIG 12 members.
Finishes in the AP Top 25:
Oklahoma- 54
Texas- 46
TCU- 18
West Virginia- 18
Houston- 13
Baylor- 13
Kansas State- 13
Oklahoma State- 11
Texas Tech- 11
Kansas- 7
Iowa State- 2
Add to that a Heisman Trophy winner
Add to that FIVE Final 4 appearances in Men's Basketball.
And all that adds up to a pretty decent athletic history.
If the BIG 12 adds Houston, they'd have to add one other team in order to have a conference championship game. My guess is that BYU would get a phone call. If BYU opts out, Cincinnati is the obvious next best choice.

The addition of Houston would be related to SEC encroachment on Big 12 territory. Their thinking would be that having a Big12 team in Houston would help keep some of the market share they are losing to A&M and LSU.

The definitely should go back to the SWC name if they add Cougar High

SMU posted a 49–9–1 record from 1980–1984, which was the highest win percentage (.839) in Division 1-A over that span.
Pony up, bitches.

Tulane would be a good move as far as territory goes.

Houston and UCF.
They would look East and would need a state with a lot of TV sets.
They may add 4 and go Memphis, UCF, Cincy and Houston.
