[QUOTE="lowfrog, post: 2907511, member: 11502"] Utah's threat is an empty threat. A school has to be invited by that conference to join the conference. An invite doesn't happen unless all the presidents of a conference's current schools vote unanimously to invite that school into the conference. Then the conference commissioner makes a phone call to the chancellor, president, or CEO leader of the school with the invite. This process is what happened to TCU and West Virginia. After Del Conte went to make TCU's case for being a member school of the the Big 12, the matter of adding TCU and WV to the Big 12 was put before a meeting of the Big 12 presidents. After review and discussion, a motion to call a vote was put forward and seconded. The Big 12 presidents held the vote and it was unanimous to invite TCU and WV to join the Big 12. BTW, when a conference is considering adding one or more schools, they don't just look at one or two sports. They look at the entire school as a package -- all of academics, all of athletics, everything. [/QUOTE]
Verification
Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
