ATLANTA, GA - DECEMBER 31: Quarterback Greg Ward Jr. #1 of the Houston Cougars celebrates their 38-24 win over the Florida State Seminoles during the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl at the Georgia Dome on December 31, 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia.
University of Houston board of regents chairman Tilman Fertitta said the Longhorns are afraid to add Houston to the Big 12 during a recent interview with CBS Sports.
