UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON

University of Houston athletic director Hunter Yurachek recently met with the commissioner of the Pac-12 Conference, a source close to the university told the Chronicle. UH also has been mentioned as a Big 12 expansion possibility.  While the Big 12 decides whether to expand, the University of Houston is exploring other options. Hunter Yurachek, UH’s vice president for intercollegiate athletics, recently met with Pac-12 Conference commissioner Larry Scott. During a West Coast trip in June, Yurachek requested an “introductory meeting” with Scott at the league offices in San Francisco, a Pac-12 spokesman confirmed Monday. A university source did not disclose the nature of the talks, but it is believed that one of the topics was conference expansion. –Joseph Duarte, chron.com– Read More
