0-12 seems to have hurt their chances.
I know KU also went 0-12, but they're already in the Big 12!
If I were betting, UCF gets in just to try to tap into the Florida market. Both for television and for recruits. Much easier to tell a Florida kid that if you play in Kansas you'll be in Florida once or twice in a four year career where it's easy for friends or family to see you play as a bargaining chip.
I seriously doubt Houston unless that's something Texas wants to keep an in-state rival in the league and help tap into the Houston market with their Longhorn network if there's little coverage there.

From my home, it's roughly 1 hour to the nearest NHL team. 1.5 hours to the nearest AHL team. 1.75 hours to the nearest ECHL team. 1.75 hours to the nearest OHL team. And 5 minutes to the nearest USHL team.
I have no desire to pay NHL prices (nor see the Pens) and the team in the NHL I do like (Blue Jackets) are too far away. AHL is a bit of a haul. As are the ECHL team and OHL team. Closest is USHL and worth the money and time to travel. I've seen ECHL games, and for the price, there isn't much of a step down to USHL. They're just younger trying to get to the professional ranks. Instead of seeing struggling ECHLers, I get to see a player like Kyle Connor who is now with the Winnipeg Jets.
I much prefer the lower levels of hockey. I love watching NHL on TV, but have no desire to pay the price to see it in person.
Teams reference above in order: Pittsburgh Penguins NHL, Lake Erie Monsters AHL, Wheeling Nailers ECHL, Erie Otters OHL, and Youngstown Phantoms USHL.

Plus, these are the tickets
Now that's awesome brand identity. Is that all tickets or just the season tickets?
Either way, I like it.

The problem with Texas is they don't realize they're the problem.

Please just stay away from the SouthEast Louisiana MetroDawggzz or something horrific like that.
New Orleans Jazz. Now, that I would be okay with. A nice little F-U to the NBA at the same time.

*-Follow the Indians farm teams, but really cheer for Erie to do well. Went to a lot of their games. Jerry Uht Park is one of the best small minor league stadiums. Even if they are a Tigers affiliate.

Bowling Green Hot Rods to be 'Bootleggers' for a night.
totally awesome idea in my book!
not a fan of the jerseys however but that logo is pretty sweet.
I think they captured the 'happy drunk' look with that logo so well.

The swinging loon looks like he has a diaper on hahaha.
That's what I was going to post. It just stands out so much. So little white used elsewhere.
I like the logo. A little 'too much' for logos for me. But, i do like the alternate winter/summer loons.

I'd only agree because the conferences are geographically divided. MLB and NFL have both overlapped with E/W, E/C/W, and E/N/S/W. But their conferences are nationwide.
