[peacock]

I can get behind this not sure about the rest of you!

Haha, I wrote an email to Yormark suggesting this over a year ago. But also suggested we rename it "The Southwestern Conference" No brainer, Southwestern, vs Southeastern.
Yea, I know...SMU doesn't deserve it blah, blah, blah.....
Then we could go after UCLA and USC.....

The ACC blows.

The ACC blows.

But the SEC swallows.

Except that there is already a Southwestern Athletic Conference.

I do. I say HELL NO to adding 2 major sports underachievers in the Pacific time zone and losing 3 contributing conference mates in the Eastern time zone. Bad deal. Not to mention it ain't in TCU's interest, in my opinion, to rescue SMU by bailing it out of a life-support conference into the Big Twelve.

unfortunately smu is the one kicking our butts right now. what they've done is nothing short of impressive and on par with what cdc did for tcu . or better.

It’s easier to travel east

 

[McFroggin]

If we wanted any of those 3 schools, we would have already had them. We passed already.

I might take this deal if the ACC threw in Florida State. Otherwise, this is a bad deal for the Big 12 on a lot of levels.

No

 

[JetFlyingFrog]

No

all within a year: into a power conference, raised 175,000,000 for athletic fund, 100,000,000 for stadium renovations, and nil is larger than ours.

The Monica Lewinsky Conference!

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Stanford and Cal are too high-tone to join the likes of TCU, OSU, Tech and Houston.

And? Still have to win on the field. I seem to recall bad, bad Cheetoh Man being outspent by almost a billion. I, for one, am not buying into the NIL grift.
