[QUOTE="Despite the odds Frog, post: 2731363, member: 3212"] Because Big 12 was replacing A&M and wanted another Texas team. Later when Missouri left WVU was added (should of added Louisville and WVU but ESPN tricked Big 12 thinking they could add the golden goose Notre Dame all the while they already had deals of Notre Dame to go to the ACC. Then Maryland left ACC and ESPN fully owned conference needed a replacement and they stole Louisville while Big 12 was sitting on their hands on what to do. ESPN and ACC taking both Louisville and Notre Dame. Big 12 was lucky and was saved by the Sugar Bowl deal with the SEC). But two football champions one of the MWC and one of the Big East replacing mediocre football programs (A&M and Missouri). Luckily TCU was winning at the right time. Look I hope if somehow the conference does break apart in 2023 or 2024 that TCU has proven and is attractive by its commitment in facilities, its fan support, it's high TV ratings, its location, its central time zone, its winning tradition and history that some other big conference comes calling. It's also very important our administration and boosters make friends to other important administration and boosters in other conferences. I think TCU could be a huge asset to another power conference. Let's also hope Big 12 stays around for a long time and becomes generationally stable. Ahhh, it's not off season unless we talk realignment or adding to the conference. [/QUOTE]
