PODCAST AIN'T PLAYED NOBODY: Houston doesn't make sense for Big 12 expansion

Because it doesn't really "expand" the Big 12.

By Bill Connelly and Steven Godfrey Jul 21, 2016, 1:27pm EDT

Go figure -- this week's PAPN is pretty realignment-heavy. AGAIN. The topics:

Big 12 Media Days and the taste of blood in your mouth
Colorado vs. Colorado State: Who would you choose?
Why Cincinnati is the expansion favorite
Why the Big 12 adding Houston just doesn't make a lot of sense (~13:45)
The benefits of quantity over quality
The benefits of football-only membership
Can the Pac-12 expand into Texas without UT? (~19:00)
ESPN as a Hulu for live sports
Rick Neuheisel is the kind of crazy we need in this world of analysis
The mid-major Champions League (~30:00)
The role of Boise State in future alignment
We like Matt Campbell
Chris Petersen is great at talking
Jim Grobe's media day performance
Hey, uh, Baylor's still going to have a good football team (this year)

Gotta say, Expansionapalooza just can't match the creative peaks it hit in Seasons 1-2. Season 6 is kind of derivative.

Enjoy. (No Box Score Bingo this week. Blame Godfrey.)
