Yes it is. How anyone could advocate not moving to big 12 is beyond me. We want to be the best so let's beat the best...not run around looking for the weakest BCS conference so we can have an easy path.
But if you are the # 1 salesman in Company A every 2-3 years and that company's top salesman gets a $ 385k bonus for doing so... then I want Company A... as long as company A has made $tringent term$/exit policie$ and agreed to by its salespeople... the same that Company B has done(albeit for only for 6 years).
Cheers!
Isn't the easier path to the BCS championship why OU chased the PAC12 for an invite, instead of avoided talking to SEC instead. Stoops says "it's about winning Championships!". So, why would a TCU/BE scenario be any different than OU's ... just as long as The Big East wrapped up it's conference equal to or > than the B12 has(for 6 years, anyway). Besides the BB league $s in BE ase intriguing.

What if all the good salesmen at company A left to go to company B and company A went out of business?

"We were approached by the Big 12, and I told them we're not a good fit for that conference. In the Big 12, geography makes sense, the economics make sense, but recruiting makes no sense for us. I can't recruit against Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State," Mueh said.
"That's why I turned down the Big 12. I can't do that to my kids, because they'll get beat up. I'd love the extra $12 million or whatever it would be per year from the TV money. And I know how I'd spend the money. I'd build a new soccer stadium, and I'd build a new baseball facility, all in one year. But I can't do that."
Before anyone starts insisting TCU should do the same, let's be clear why AF declined the Big XII.
Their administration is realistic enough to understand they will struggle to compete in such a conference, and as such the BE is a better fit for them.
TCU will be able to compete in recruiting and on the field (both of which it is already doing, even before joining the conference), so the the rationale doesn't apply equally.
I may be jumping the gun, since I don't exactly hear a chorus of support for TCU following AF's lead, but I just thought it was a point worth making.
Go Frogs! Do It Now!

I'm just guessing but probably they might like to consult with CDC, CGP and other coaches and CDC and CGP were in San Diego.
Great analogy. If you want to be a great tennis player, you seek out the best to play.

Yes playing Army, Navy and Air Force would be more cool than playing Texas, OU, OSU, Baylor, Texas Tech, Missouri, Kansas and Iowa State every year.

No. At that point it will morph into the Texas invited us as part of master plan to destroy TCU stage.
Your response(the 'ifs') have already been addressed in posts #33, bottom half of #44 and bottom half of #45.

Actually, the exercise in which you are engaged is logomachy, not semantics. But let's not engage in logomachy either.
Didn't we do that twice the past couple of years ... both years, a hair or 3 from playing in the National Championship, while a member of a non-qualifying conference.
PS - Stiff Arm, where the hell are you ... you started all this mess!

You went to TCU and not Tech. You can't be THAT dumb.
