University of Houston athletic director Hunter Yurachek met last month with Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott while on a trip to the West Coast as the school tries to attract interest from Power Five conferences.Pac-12 spokesman Erik Hardenbergh confirmed Monday that Scott met with Yurachek at the athletic directors request. Houston spokesman David Bassity said Yurachek used the meeting to discuss myriad topics related to the future of college athletics.The Pac-12 has given no indication it is looking to expand from its current 12 members.Houston is a member of the American Athletic Conference and one of many schools outside Power Five leagues that have been working behind the scenes to move to a more lucrative conference.The Big 12 has been considering expansion for months and still has not made a decision. The conference is holding media days in Dallas this week and its presidents are scheduled to meet Tuesday, with expansion on the agenda.The Big 12 is the only Power Five conference with 10 members. The rest have at least 12. The conference has announced it will reinstitute its football championship games and likely break into divisions, even if it does not add members.Houston, along with fellow AAC members Memphis, UCF, Connecticut and Cincinnati, and other schools such as Colorado State, have reached out to members of the Big 12 board of directors to pitch their schools over the last year.The Cougars have a hot football program and a new on-campus stadium, but being in Texas isnt necessarily helping its prospects with the Big 12. The league already has four schools in the state and a large presence in the city of Houston, especially with University of Texas alumni. Often when Power Five conferences have added schools, they have tried to add new media markets and expand the leagues footprint. Cheap Chicago White Sox Jerseys China .

ATLANTA -- Jason Days PGA Tour season officially ended two days earlier than expected, when he withdrew from the Tour Championship due to a lingering back injury midway through the second round on Friday afternoon.The injury is a strained ligament in his lower right back with a muscle spasm. He withdrew as a precautionary measure, read a statement from Days management team.It is the same back injury that forced Day, the worlds No. 1-ranked player, to withdraw from the BMW Championship two weeks ago.I put the tee in the ground at the BMW Championship, and my back went out, Day explained earlier this week. Last time it went out, I changed a diaper. So its nothing where I go and physically make a move at it during a swing and my back goes out. It literally is from the smallest things -- picking up a pillow, picking up something off the ground, or just moving the wrong way.Day was playing the eighth hole at East Lake Golf Club when he withdrew on Friday. After hitting his drive into the water, he took a drop, tthen hit driver off the deck before calling for medical attention and leaving the course.ddddddddddddAs the fourth-ranked player in the FedEx Cup, Day could have earned the season-long title and $10 million first-place prize with a victory this week. He will remain the games top-ranked player, no matter what, despite second-ranked Dustin Johnson?being in contention heading into the weekend rounds.If theres a silver lining to Days timing, its that he wasnt expected to tee it up competitively again for at least two months. The next two events on his schedule are believed to be the Australian Open (Nov. 17-20), followed by the World Cup of Golf (Nov. 24-27), both in his native Australia.His 2016-17 season officially concludes with victories at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, WGC-Dell Match Play and The Players Championship.
