jug band, I love you buddy, but you are in way over your head here. Your "nothing happens in secret anymore" comment proves you have no idea how stuff like this works. So let me fill you in, these things happen in private phone conversation and private meetings, not on the internet or on TV. Half of what gets reported on ESPN or by some clown named Chip Brown on a message board is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Try and relax, and realize that TCU will be just fine when all is said in done.
We didnt get left behind when the Big XII was formed because of any lack of effort on trying to pull strings at the last minute. We got left behind because our athletic programs, most notably king football, were simply not good enough and hadnt been for some time. Thats hard to admit, but its true. We werent good enough when the Big XII formed to deserve an invite. Neither was Baylor, but they weaseled their way in, and left us out. Look where that has brought them. But we picked ourselves up and built oursleves into a powerhouse.
This time its different. In fact, its completely different. The fact that the media only talks about Texas and not us shouldnt suprise you. I promise you, behind the scenes, we are being talked about, and they are saying good things. We have become a real powerhouse in football and baseball, and that is a big deal. Regardless of where we land, I promise the only difference we will see from our current situation, will be improvement. If you think about it, we have only seen improvement in our conference affiliation int he 15 years since we were left out the Big XII. Both the move from the C-USA to the WAC, and from the WAC to the MWC were clearly upgrades. We have our administration to thank for that. So do whatever it is you do to relax, and let the people whos job it is, do what they have been doing quite well since we were left behind 15 years ago. We are about to get upgraded again, this time, I think it will really be into 1st class.
It was SWC to WAC to C-USA to MWC to ???????????????????????
Everything else is spot on
