It’s been a fun run boys. Today marks the official end of TCU athletics as we once knew it. Back to the days of irrelevancy we come.

TCU was in a tough situation no matter who was leading our athletic department, but thanks to our bush league AD, we will soon find ourselves in a bush league conference. Tried to warn everyone. Oh well. Too late now.

Hard to be mad at Jeremiah. It’s really not his fault that he is severely under quailed for this job. It’s TCU’s fault for hiring him. ADJD would have been a good hire for a non-power 5 school...not TCU. Ironically thanks to our stupidity, that’s exactly what we’re about to become.

Can't wait to be playing home games against the likes of Tulsa, Tulane, and East Carolina again.

This is the reality... time for people to accept it. Let go of your Pac 12/ACC hopes now because it isn't happening.

Stupid.

we were never close to playoffs in B12. Got by far closer not in B12

steel welcomes the prospect of winning again and the prospect of not going to unmitigated dogcrap towns like Stoolwater and Ames and Manhattan and Lubutthole

TCU will be fine wherever it goes as long as the playoffs indeed expand to 12 with provisions for G5.

Would rather whoop that longhorn ass for another ten years in basically every sport, but if they have hurt feelings about it and wanna take their ball, so be it. Have fun with aggy and enjoy getting waxed by Bama!

What if the playoffs don't expand?
Or the Power 5 schools ditch the NCAA and go off on their own? That's probably the next shoe to drop.

Playoffs won’t expand if the super conferences happen….you seem to be missing that point

In the next six months Donati will either have a job for life at TCU or probably go down as the worst thing that's happened to TCU athletics in history.

not sure if he could really have done anything about this to prevent the inevitable as texas alums/supporters have been bitching about the conference dragging them done since nebraska, colorado, atm, and mizzou split and they are convinced they are losing ground to atm and the other power schools because of their conference mates

funny thing is ou continues to win the conference regardless and texas muddles along, but it doesn't matter.

best thing is that when this eventually happens gary will end up being one of the very few coaches with a winning record against them which just pisses the hell out of a few horns i know for some reason which i find really funny

Sure, he's the easy target, but there are a lot of assumptions floating around that suggest these decisions have little to do with the AD. People assume that Big 10 at non-AAU schools or the PAC won't look at religious schools. You think any of their AD's give a damn about either of those things? Nope, they care about revenue. Period. Therefore, if those things matter, it is the school presidents and school boards that have the power here, not the ADs.

I mean it's his job. He's the AD and gets paid as such. His job is to build the strongest, best Athletic Department. Risk comes whenever you accept a $1MM/year paycheck.

Unfortunately we have Bowlsby who should have been knocking on the doors of New Mexico, Arizona, Arizona State. Colorado, Colorado State, BYU and Utah, to create the first 16 team super conference called the South Western Conference.

Simply not aggressive

Yeah.... everyone knew that eventually the B12 or P12 would fall. Just a matter of who went first.

don't think it would have mattered, as someone mentioned in the other thread the big 12 was a forced marriage and texas has been looking for a way out for quite sometime

also, scheiss BYU. if the choice is between going back in a conference with byu to stay p5 or go down well welcome lower level and scheiss BYU
