Wartezimmer » Sydney to a club-record 92-point home win over Fremantle

Houston?board of regents chairman Tilman Fertitta had some strong words for the Big 12 in the aftermath of Texas hiring of former Cougars coach Tom Herman.Houston experienced immense success in Hermans two-season tenure there, going 22-4, including a 13-1 season in 2015 that included a Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl victory over Florida State and six wins over top-25 teams. Texas?hired Herman on Saturday, hours after firing Charlie Strong.Fertitta, appearing on The Michael Berry Show on KTRH-AM in Houston on Tuesday morning, took exception to the fact that a school in the Big 12,?which explored expansion but eventually decided against it,?hired Herman.Its disappointing that the University of Texas -- who wants to open a campus in Houston and said they would never do anything to harm the University of Houston, with all the football coaches in America, who said that they would stand up for us to get into the Big 12 and then didnt even vote for us when they met with the commissioner and all the schools -- had to come take our little football coach, Fertitta told Berry. But thats business and its a great opportunity for Tom and I wish him the best. I hope they all do well, but I just hope we do better.Fertitta, also one of the Cougars biggest boosters (he donated $20 million for the naming rights to the soon-to-be-renovated basketball arena Hofheinz Pavilion, which will become the Fertitta Center), called the Big 12s expansion vetting process a sham. Houston was considered one of the top candidates to be added to the conference if the Big 12 moved forward with expansion.I think it was a PR play to see how the NCAA and everyone else was going to react since they dont have a championship game, Fertitta said. I truly dont know what they were thinking, other than just, maybe, poor lack of leadership.The Big 12 will play a conference championship game starting in 2017. When discussing the interview process that potential expansion candidates engaged in with the Big 12, Fertitta was critical.You know when I knew we were in trouble? Fertitta said. There were three [university] presidents who were on the [Big 12 expansion] committee and when we went to the interview, they werent even part of the interview process. I walked out of that meeting and said Wow, this is a sham. Theres no intention of doing anything.It was one of the great shams in college football, and college athletics, and just college period. ... It was a total sham and I sit here today and I laugh at the Big 12 and their leadership.Fertitta, an entrepreneur who owns the restaurant corporation Landrys Inc. and is the host of a CNBC reality television show called Billion Dollar Buyer, also discussed Houstons pending search to replace Herman. Asked about former LSU coach Les Miles, Fertitta said Miles is on a list. I think that tells you right there the quality of coaches that would like to come to the University of Houston.When asked about whether he would hire Art Briles, who was fired earlier this year amid the sexual assault scandal at Baylor, Fertitta said, I wish that we could get more clarity on what has happened out there [at Baylor].Were struggling with clarity, Fertitta said. I can tell you this: There are a lot of Baylor supporters in this city and people that are very close to the university ... [former Baylor president] Ken Starr, the [former] athletic director [Ian McCaw], lots of senior people and senior alumni, regents at Baylor, have said If you will meet with us, we will talk to you about the coach and we will give you clarity of how much he didnt know.Do I think that Briles got a bad rap to some degree? Obviously he did. But at the same time, youre the boss, and there was an issue there. So theres an issue. Does everybody deserve to be forgiven? Yes. Theres a lot of controversy surrounding him. I think hes a great football coach, and well just have to see where it goes from here. Cheap Fake Jerseys .
