Yay we can finally go independent like Notre Dame!
UT to the Big 10 and OU to SEC. Big 12 goes away. 1 team gets left out of the big leagues. We obviously have to make moves to get to PAC.
The Big Ten has never been afraid to make odd moves. They could pitch Mizzou, KU, OU, and UT. OU isn’t AAU but I could see them making an exception for that package. That would really spin things on their head.
They might have to have a permanent mask mandate regardless of vaccine status.I bet tcu could get in the pac if it renamed itself and forced vaccinations on all attendees and staff.
Since we all agree with the vaccination part, what’s a good replacement name? Hopefully something that keeps TCU as an acronym..
Sorry but I need an explanation for 3 - 10.
I want to believe. It just seems more likely that TV dictates that alumni/fanbase size is more important than anything else.Not sure I have seen so many people drive off a cliff at the same time. It’s like the unfinished highway bridge in Idiocracy.
Nothing has happened yet. If it does TCU is a school in a fertile recruiting ground with an alumni base who has a ton of money. We have a great program and good name recognition. Put yourselves in the shoes of the other Big 12 schools out in the middle of nowhere and think about how bad they are freaking out.
Some of my best memories are us running the table every year in the MWC. At least if it happens this time the frogs could still make the playoff.The quicker everyone here accepts our AAC fate, the better off you will be long run.
Let go of your hope.
Can't wait for conference games against Temple.
If we get left behind I wouldn't be surprised at all for GP to spend his last few years giving it a run elsewhere.
I imagine he rides out the Duggan career and hangs it up.I think he’ll retire in the next few years before the GOR is up. Or if they negotiate an earlier ending I think he retires whenever that happens to end.
Saying they are different does not explain. How are they different? Do cable providers no longer pay a fee for the channel content providers? How are the bundles with the Big 10 network different now than several years ago, and if so what channels are they now bundled with that is different?How they are bundled and, ultimately, consumed are completely different.
Um, ya need to catch up just a bit. Yeah, football for TCU might look a little different since the Big East doesn't play football anymore.The other conference of note in this entire situation is the Big East! They have Creighton in Nebraska so adding KU and KSU might make some sense for them. I also think the Kansas schools could be intrigued with the basketball. Iowa St. might even consider it. I could also see TCU enjoying a spot in the conference though football might not look like it does today.
That is about option #27.The other option for TCU might be to align with SMU, UH, Rice, Tech (if available) and Baylor to find other schools around Texas and restart the the Southwest Conference. University of North Texas, UTSA, and UTEP might be options. The schools that are no longer a part of the conference will whine, but it could be the best option.
Thanks for giving us something else to worry about! But you're right, of course.If it ends up with 4 power conferences, what are the chances the 12 team playoff recommendation change or disappear?
Also ffs if you don’t get into a power conference Amon g might be a bit of overkill
