[QUOTE="Jared7, post: 3027472, member: 7831"] Well, this is the 6th time this has happened to TCU since 1994 - basically, every 4-5 years our conference implodes on us. It's not a done deal as yet and there still might be some hoops to jump through, but the momentum behind it appears to be strong, so I'd say that it seems likely to happen at some point. One of the reasons we're not in as much agony as ISU and Baylor is that we've been through all this so many times and have actually been on the losing end in reality as opposed to just in theory. It seems that we'll likely slip from the 3rd most financially viable conference to the 5th. The Pac 12 would be the best landing spot but that entirely depends on whether they want us, which is a possibility, but not all that strong. The next best spot would be to remain in a Big 12 remnant - if only UT and OU leave, that seems likely, but everyone is going to be scrambling to get out and there might well be more shoes to drop. Then it becomes a choice of either cobbling together a new conference of the "best of the rest" or joining the AAC or MWC. For now, I'd try to keep the Big 12 together - UT and OU not giving the required 12 hour notice and breaking the existing GOR will entail a large settlement and if they leave early, there will be revenue withholding implications. We'll land somewhere. It won't be as good as we now have it, but it'll be better than the WAC and C-USA. It might enhance our chances to win more games in football but it might hurt recruiting as well in all sports. [/QUOTE]
