I have looked at TV ratings and UH is much much higher than Rice.
Well! Good for you! I'd be shocked if it were otherwise. This, however, does not change the fact that UH is a roadside commuter school with no real identity amongst it's students or alumni.
Yes ESPN does not care about our thoughts. Neither does FOX or CBS since they are also in the media discussion. You are welcome to hate on UH all you like, but posting your opinion as fact is just trying to mislead people. Simple fact UH has higher TV ratings than Rice. UH has higher TV ratings than most of the expansion options.
"Mislead people"?!? Are you trying to imply that there are those who take my opinion
seriously? I don't give a ripe crap about UH's TV ratings. They go up, they go down. Doesn't change the fact that they're a roadside commuter school that ESPN has commanded us to receive with adulation on pain of bankruptcy.
Has it occurred to you that merely lifting
any program out of the mud, cleaning them up and presenting them as some Major College Football Program and sticking them on TV will eventually result in better ratings for that program? There's a little
My Fair Lady in there, but the point remains.
Rejoice! Be of good cheer! You got your way, and the roadside commuter school is now a By-Ghod P-5 Member, with a rich history of football prowess...
