Adding Houston to the Big 12 would be 'a hell of a mistake,' Barry Switzer says

But former Oklahoma Sooners and Dallas Cowboys coach Barry Switzer says that the Big 12 would be hurting itself if it brought the Cougars in.

"It'd be a hell of a mistake if the Big 12 allows them to come in," Switzer told the Austin American-Statesman's "On Second Thought" podcast.
