820 AM* radio in DFW this morning said that the PAC offered TCU and Houston to join (but for football and basketball only), and apparently they wanted Houston most of all. TCU and UH turned them down to go Big 12 instead.
USC, Oregon and friends wanted the media exposure and playing in DFW and Houston for recruiting.
TCU and UH did not like the idea of not including the other sports.
*That's what they said, so don't jump all over me if it's just a rumor.
