I had heard that one thing UT liked about Del Conte was his experience at navigating a school to new conferences. He took us from CUSA to the MWC to the B12

Big Ten, no way will UT want to position themselves to play that B10 power Maryland on a regular basis after their repeated upchucks to the Terps!OU and UT like being the big brands around here. Makes them feel good. Don’t figure they want to share that spotlight with the likes of Mich and Buckey. Much less spend half their season playing up north in snow.
I believe all of this is just the BIG10 sending out "feelers" to see where goes from there. I also think this where the BIG 12 needs to also be sending out "feelers" of their own to a few of PAC12 schools to see if there might be any interes with the PAC12 Network possibly ending.
I could be mistaken but I think Del Conte just took us from the Mountain
West to Big XII with a brief stint in the Big East.
Correct. We were already in the MWC when Del Conte arrived.

"Texas and OU looking to bolt the Big 12 for this conference, and you won't believe how TCU is at fault!"

Headline is way too specific for FWST. You have to get them to click to find out who the subject is. You obviously are old school.
Nebraska would secede from the union.UT saw that Northwestern won the B1G West and thought that should be easy to do every year. They would only have to play Maryland, Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State or Penn State once or twice each decade. How do you think Nebraska would vote on UT joining the West and playing them yearly?
Think he got here earlier because I think he was in Omaha too.DelConte arrived about a month before the Rose Bowl game. Exquisite timing.
Or there could be a challenge of the GOR, or some sort of a a buyout.
That said, I do agree that this is just noise in response to the Big Ten getting left out for the second year in a row. See also their discussion on changing their CCG criteria to match the two best teams rather than the division champs.
I’m not counting on CDC to worry one iota about TCU 5-6 years from now.
