UH: The Conference Conundrum
So, you're wondering which conference the University of Houston is in? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because this is a rollercoaster of athletic affiliations.
The Big 12 Shuffle
Let's cut to the chase: University of Houston is currently a member of the Big 12 Conference. That's right, the same Big 12 that used to be all about Texas and Oklahoma, but now it's got a whole new flavor. It's like your favorite pizza place suddenly started offering sushi. Weird, but kinda intriguing.
A Brief History of Conference Jumping
Now, before we dive deeper into the Big 12, let's take a quick trip down memory lane. UH has been a bit of a conference hopper. They've been in the Missouri Valley Conference, the Southwest Conference (RIP), Conference USA, and the American Athletic Conference. It's like they couldn't find their athletic home, you know?
Why the Big 12?
You might be wondering why UH decided to join the Big 12. Well, it's all about prestige, exposure, and, let's be honest, money. The Big 12 is a power conference, and being a part of it means more national TV time, bigger crowds, and, hopefully, more championships.
UH Cougars: Ready to Roar
With the move to the Big 12, the Houston Cougars are ready to make some noise. They've got a strong football program and a history of success in other sports. So, can they compete with the big boys? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: the Cougars are here to stay in the Big 12, and they're ready to make their mark.
