The Cougars played their home games at TDECU Stadium in Houston, Texas, and competed in the West Division of the American Athletic Conference. They finished the season 8–5, 5–3 in AAC play to finish in a three-way tie for the West Division championship. After tiebreakers, they did not represent the West Division in the AAC Championship Game. They were invited to the Armed Forces Bowl where they lost to Army by a score of 14–70, in the process tying records for the most points given up and the largest margin-of-loss in NCAA bowl game history.

The Best Things in Texas 2023: The Best NBA Coach Ever
By some estimates, the Big 12’s snub of UH in 1995 cost the school as much as half a billion dollars in TV-rights money. But the setback left UH officials determined to get back into a Power Five conference, and they spent big over the years to get the Big 12’s attention. After Texas and OU announced they’d be leaving for the SEC, UH’s invitation finally arrived.
After that, the Cougars start the home schedule with Kansas and Rice, which should be two wins over teams over inferior rosters. The Cougars released their 2012 football schedule Friday with seven home games and eight within the city. In addition to football coach Dana Holgorsen’s new deal, basketball coach Kelvin Sampson is making more than $3 million a season and is signed through 2027. UT and A&M will draw around 100,000 fans for every football home game. Meanwhile, UH seems forever stuck in the 25,000 range, which is what the school has averaged in the two most recent non-pandemic-interrupted seasons . Houston hasn’t hit 30,000 in attendance for a home game since 2018 and hasn’t gotten to 40,000 since 2016.

Houston will receive additional revenue when it joins the Big 12 next summer. Problem is, with Texas and Oklahoma planning to leave the conference no later than 2025 and probably earlier, the Big 12’s television-rights revenues are expected to fall off a cliff. Of the three that did—Texas Tech ($189,438), Kansas ($3.86 million), and West Virginia ($8.98 million)—all received far less than Houston.
TheCougar Pride Athletic Fund Tailgatewill be located directly adjacent to TDECU Stadium between Gate 2 and the Milner Family Entrance in a 75 X 125 tent.

I think it would be neat for the city of Houston to have that game." The two schools are separated by just a few blocks but have only met once in football, a 59-6 win by UH in 2007.
The Welcome Back Staff Tailgate will precede the UH vs. ECU game celebrating UH's Homecoming. Talks are underway for the University of Houston and Texas Southern to play in a non-conference football game in 2018. Almost everyone familiar with sports at the University of Houston has a memory that captures how awful things were in the post–Southwest Conference years. To view UH’s transformation through this lens is to appreciate even more the array of new facilities on campus, the Big 12 membership, and the nationally ranked football and men’s basketball teams. Houston’s athletics department received almost $50 million in university general fund contributions and student fees in the fiscal year 2021.
UH’s $41 million in general fund contributions was the third-highest among public universities, trailing only Arizona State ($62.2 million) and Connecticut ($42.6 million), according to information compiled by the website Sportico. Houston Cougar football games are broadcast in the Houston area on KPRC 950 AM as part of the Houston LEARFIELD Sports Network.
