Because by all accounts he's actually a serious student.  Why not transfer to a school with some academic rigor?  He's certainly not going to U of H to realistically enhance his pro football prospects.

It would have been much more appropriate for Tristian Houston to go to UH.

...and Porter should have gone to the Anchor Brewing Co.

meh.   UH isn’t harvard but it’s a fine enough school.  plenty of smart people there.

Futureman isn't usually this correct, so y'all should pay attention. UH is not and will likely never be a first tier university, but some first tier people do actually occasionally go through there. It's not your daddy's "Cougar High".

He's got a UT degree and soon a graduate degree from UH.  I have no idea what his career plans are after football, but I doubt they involve anything where that would be a negative.

good luck to Kyle Porter.

UH is probably the best he could do - don't think there were a bunch of schools banging down the door to land his 1.2 ypc.

I'd have thought given his excellent performance at McCombs he'd have chosen a better school a level down. Guess he just wanted play in front of his family and get an ok degree.

Well he wasn't going to beat out Abe Willow or Trey Flowers at Penn, so being a Quaker was right out. Where else was he gonna go?

Maybe playing in only  4 games last season will allow him to be fresher so he has a chance to do well.  Who knows, Dana's offense might be a better fit for KP??

Those links are simply admission requirements. The acceptance rate at A&M has been on the rise (i. e. Easier to get into) from about 66% three years ago. UH has been around 60% (i e harder to get into than A&M

you do not understand what acceptance rate actually means it is a meaningless indicator that massive amounts of people believe has some meaning

the only thing acceptance rate tells you is about the number of students admitted (or not admitted) Vs the number of applicants......it gives you zero indication of the actual qualifications of those admitted or of the standards of admission 

thus is is meaningless in comparisons for universities

here is an example using some extreme numbers.....if you have one university named say "Wheat" and Wheat had admissions requirements of top 5% of your HS class and a 1350 on the SAT or you are not admitted.....and Wheat had 5,000 applicants and 3,000 of those applicants met that top 5% and 1350 SAT requirement then Wheat would have a 60% acceptance ratio

if another school called "Good Bull" had admissions requirements of top 25% of high school class and a 950 on the SAT and they had 80,000 applicants and 20,000 of those applicants met that top 25% of HS class and 950 SAT then Good Bull would have a 25% acceptance rate

so someone that (completely wrongly) places any value at all on acceptance rate would look at Good Bull Vs Wheat and totally wrongly assume that Good Bull was a much harder university to get into because they have a 25% acceptance rate Vs a 60% rate for Wheat

yet the 25% of students admitted to Good Bull had a 950 SAT and were in the top 25% of their HS class Vs Wheat where students were in the top 5% of their class and had a 1350 SAT

and more so the only factor that really plays into Good Bull having that lower acceptance rate is that they had a much higher number of applicants that could not even meet the 25% HS class and 950 SAT

there is nothing that indicates it is more difficult to be admitted to a university simply because that university has more applicants that are border line regarded

acceptance rate is simply an indication that a university had a larger or smaller pool of unqualified applicants with no regard to the actual qualifications of those admitted or denied or the qualifications for admission

also one can go here

if you sort those by acceptance rate no one on earth would think it is more difficult to get into Jarvis Christian College than it is to get into Rice or UT (or anywhere else)

Maybe he's interested in hotel management/hospitality.  That's something UT doesn't have and IIRC, UH is pretty near the top in that area.
