About how they won't schedule Texas State as long as he's AD at UH, JD said:
"We won't be working with Texas State anytime in my tenure." (HSA)
HSA Note: "After "five or six months" of talking, UH said an agreement was worked out to bring the Bobcats here, only to have Franchione scuttle it when contracts were to be sent out. When Texas State asked for a better financial package, UH said it complied, upping the terms. When the Bobcats requested a home game, UH said it offered a two-for-one deal and would make a later appearance in San Marcos."
Texas State AD Lawrence Teis said that they were interested in UH when they found out that they couldn't play in a bowl game in 2012 and couldn't win the WAC title, but:
"we also had not completed (scheduling) our other 12 games yet. When that started coming together, we noticed a tough schedule (Houston, Texas Tech, Nevada, New Mexico, Navy, Stephen F. Austin, UT-San Antonio, New Mexico State, Louisiana Tech, Idaho, San Jose State and Utah State) and were trying to decide whether to add another game. Ideally, if Hawaii would have been in September or October, we probably could have made this work." (HSA)
About why they didn't want to play in Hawaii in December, Teis said:
"Coach Fran was concerned that (date) would cut into recruiting, which we desperately need to do moving to (the FBS) level." (HSA)
