It also seems that a few schools are changing their votes on asking Houston to join the Big 12.
Oh well, I will enjoy the success while it lasts

What's important is the AD/Houston Leadership and Boosters. Herman can go if he wants. He has an incredible opportunity to build a legacy program here. (Think Alabama before Bear Bryant) and be immortalized. Or go for the money and name recognition in programs that really are a mess. (LSU and Texas have serious leadership issues in the sports departments/university positions. Herman could walk into a buzz saw).
Who has been coaching Houston? Briles, Sumlin, Herman. Houston knows how to get good coaches. What's going on will last beyond Herman. He can stay here and be a God or be a footnote in other legacies.
If the Big 12 votes Houston in, that changes the calculus some. I don't think it's likely because all those teams would be giving up ground in Houston and the Big 12 is kinda weak right now. Catch 22 though, 5 years from now, if Big 12 doesn't add some teams, they are gonna be weak for a while.
