TCU In The BIG12

PonyMan · 10-06-2011, 12:24 PM

"TCU will accept an invitation today to join the Big 12 Conference for the 2012-13 school year, college football industry sources told CBSSports.com.

Multiple TCU sources told CBSSports.com "it's a done deal."

TCU was scheduled to join the Big East on July 1, 2012, but instead will join the Big 12. By leaving the Big East before it officially became a member, the Horned Frogs will have to pay a $5 million exit fee but is not bound by the Big East’s 27-month requirement for notification.

TCU chancellor Victor J. Boschini told the Big East Thursday morning that the school has scheduled a board of regents meeting for later in the day.

The addition of TCU to the Big 12 replaces Texas A&M, which is headed to the SEC.

The Big 12 still must determine if it wants 10 or 12 members. Tuesday, Missouri gave chancellor Brady Deaton the authority to pursue its options about joining another conference.

If Missouri leaves for the SEC -- and the Birmingham Newsreported Missouri currently does not have unanimous support -- the Big 12 likely would add three more schools to get to 12. The leading candidates would be Louisville, BYU, West Virginia and Cincinnati.
The loss of TCU is another blow to the Big East. The league also lost Pittsburgh and Syracuse to the ACC, but commissioner John Marinatto has said previously the Big East would make Pitt and Syracuse honor the 27-month exit agreement, meaning they couldn't join the ACC until 2014.

Without TCU, Pittsburgh and Syracuse, the remaining Big East football members are Louisville, West Virginia, Cincinnati, UConn, Rutgers and South Florida."

Now if we can get BYU, and Boise State!!!!

I have been to to TONS of UT Football Games

ARkansas
A&M
OU
NEB
UCLA
Ohio St
and many more

And I can honestly say the hardest hitting opponent I have seen come into DKR or anywhere and put the hit on has to be TCU.

back 3 or 4 years ago 2007 patterson's defense came to DKR and suprised the hell out of me on how quick they were and how hard they hit.
Normally I would give that title to OU but right now TCU holds it.

Bringing a Horns game to DFW on a every other year Basis would be cool.

Now we need a bigger name to replace Nebraska.

BYU would be a Good addition.
Louiville I dont see it happening even though I would very much so accept it

I was hoping to see TCU v. South Florida when they went to the Big East, however, if they are going to the Big 12 that would make for some pretty good match ups. BYU would be nice and Boise State would work in everyones' favor for the BCS rankings though there are a few other teams out there that would make a good addition to the Big 12 too and possibly give the SEC incumbents to the National Championship title a run for the MONEY.
