Everybody take a second to mentally and emotionally revisit July of 2021. Oklahoma and Texas just announced their defection, and Aresco--the AAC commissioner is talking publicly about picking up Big 12 members to join SMU's crappy conference.
Now, here we are. In a 16-team conference with Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, Tech, Baylor, Okie State, K-State, Cincinnati...
No, we're not the SEC or the Big Ten. Yes, we still have to compete above our weight class with less TV money like we have for years. No, we don't know what the future holds and the tide could still go out on us. But things are looking up, and for the medium term future at least, TCU football is going to be ok.
Now I'm off to the pub to raise a glass with a fellow TCU alumnus.
Happy Friday; Go Frogs, and bring on the actual football.
There may not be room, financially, for all four corners. Somebody might need to take a bit of a haircut.
Would have been nice to have 3 cougars and 2 wildcats in the conference to keep things simple.Can’t help but feel bad for the beavers and cougars.
When will it be announced for the other three joining the big 12.
I prefer VT & NCSU if available and I think they will be. Leave the others for the AAC.Was thinking a bit further back:
End of great SWC rivalries
End of a really good MWC with great rivalries. UTAH, BYU, TCU all top 25 was a great conference.
We now have those three together again, but add TTech, Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, Baylor, KState, Kansas, West Virg, and a VERY promising UCF with huge alumni and Florida base.
It really may be stronger than the conference with OU and UT in it. Just needed to get rid of the [Finebaum]-blocker and this thing takes off.
Now, let's add a Duke, and Pitt/Miami/Louisville combo, and it really won't get much better. Hell, add a bball UConn for our North/Eastside partners.
At the Az. BoR meeting last night UA & ASU already had a pre-agreement with UU to leave the PAC for B12. UA had already notified coaches and everyone they were leave.
But Michael Crow of ASU did a complete 180 flip stabbing everyone in the back and stopped the process dead in its tracks. Complete bedlam broke out.
Crow was defiant and refused to acknowledge the agreement saying he wanted to stay in PAC and said I’ll see you at the GoR meeting tomorrow.
The Monty show just quoted a Utah source that In an AZ have accepted B12 membership. No word on ASU.
Then the GOR vote failed miserably today, with only WSU & OSU approving, and Oregon/Washington withdrew from the conference, and the PAC died.
We would have had an announcement today for all 3 teams if it wasn’t for that moron Michael Crow.
We should leave ASU on the floor, but that could also mean leaving UU.
The B12 has taken a step back and is now deciding to either stay at 14
or still take ASU and UU by extension. Not sure what will happen here.

It would be hysterical, if we announced Arizona, Utah, and Stanford.
UU, as of now, does not have an offer in hand.Naw Utah would come without ASU. Offer Stanford and Cal if Utah falters. Utah would leave ASU behind for dead quick.
Stanford being left alone because no one wants to deal with their stuff is amusing.Don’t really want Stanford, but the idea of leaving Cal all alone is delicious.
