[QUOTE="Frozen Frog, post: 3041792, member: 71841"] Right now is probably the worst scenario for TCU and the other Big 12 schools. I don't think it is full doomsday, but it is bad. I still think the Pac 12 expands eventually, but the road just got murkier. The alliance is going to make it hard for Big 12 schools to schedule games of substance. The SEC doesn't like playing on the road! They prefer to play FCS and low level G5 teams. Neutral sites may be the Big 12 schools best bet. If this alliance moves forward I could see it preventing those schools from scheduling against the Big 12. I think the Big 12 has 3 acceptable options. The first is to stay at 8 when OUT occurs. I almost prefer this option. It is still a good conference. The next is to grab the best available whoever that may be right now. Who knows what they will add today or in the future. This might be my least favorite. I think the third route is to just go regional with travel and focus on bus trip style games. Eventually I think the Big 12 dissolves, and not adding teams to the mix is probably my preferred choice. I believe more expansion is coming, and a small Big 12/8 makes the most sense. [/QUOTE]
