[QUOTE="BABYFACE, post: 683326, member: 159"] Medlin I don't agree with everything you say, and you don't agree with everything I said, but were not to far apart. I would love to have TCU join the Big East in all sports. TCU will decline a FB only offer. TCU also wants to know the Big East plan moving forward. You want your athletics program to be a part of plan with vision. As us at TCU found out when the SWC disbanded, nothing is forever and today's climate in CFB is ever changing. Plus, if a FB program or a conference is not moving forward, it could find itself disbanded or looking in from the outside very quickly. We learned this past Summer when the Big 12 nearly collapsed, the MWC was trying to figure who to offer from the soon to be defunct Big 12 that didn't go to the PAC 16. UTah and BYU were still part of the MWC with Boise already invited. Both Kansas schools were mentioned as possible invitees. Baylor was begging. Then UT screwed the PAC or the initation process that would brought them 6 Big 12 teams and thus the Big 12 is now 10 team conference minus Colorado and Nebraska. If the PAC 16 would have happened, the Big 10 was going to 16 and The big east was dead center on their radar. The Big East and Big 12 might have been lame duck BCS conferences this season with them disbanding in 2011 and the MWC looked like it was going to get autobid status in 2011. I have no doubt the bIg East basketball schools would have stayed together as a conference but BCS and FB would have been gone. My point is this isn't a what if fantasy played out in my mind, but what nearly came to pass this past Summer. TCU fans are not against the Big East, we just ddon't want to hear the bragging from some of the Big East fans from schools that their FB program is no where near TCU, past or present. That is what irritated me and others. [/QUOTE]
