TCU to the Big East....

And Boise gets screwed again, they leave the WAC to upgrade their schedule, then Utah, TCU and BYU all leave and they were the 3 best teams in that conference.
 
Boise is COMPLETELY left in the cold. BYU is going independent, TCU is going to the Big East, and Utah is going to the Pac-10. Now the only team left that's decent is Air Force.
 
Oh right, I forgot about Utah to the Pac10. Apparently Boise did not do their research before making this decision? Ouch! Did I read somewhere that Hawaii may be going to the Moutain West???
 
Hmm...any way we could fast-track this so TCU could take the Big East's automatic bid to the BCS this year?
 
Great point, if UCONN is the Big East Rep, this would be a huge waste of a spot in the BCS. Heck, for that matter any Big East team is a waste of a spot this year and most years!
 
I have a feeling that Boise will not be in the MWC for long, if at all. Maybe one season. I think the PAC 12 will be calling them soon, maybe Air Force as well.

I think it is telling that TCU didn't wait for the Big 12 to expand. That would've been a much more natural fit with a heck of a lot less travel. That speaks to me that there is NO confidence that the Big 12 will be around for long, with Texas most likely gutting it by going independent after 2012.

Any move that gets TCU out of the MWC and into a BCS conference has to be seen as good for them.
 
I'm not sure if Boise gets into a major conference. They don't offer anything but football, and not a lot of revenue. It's not fair, but that may be what happens.

There is no way in hell Boise St ever goes to the Pac 10, absolutely none.

Boise St. is one bad season away from falling back to irrelevance in football, and it's a lot harder to get back up when you're playing USC, Oregon, Arizona every week instead of San Jose St, Fresno St and Idaho.

If Boise St football falls off, you're left with a school with bad facilities, small alumni base, small TV market and academic standards that are just barely above a junior college. They will never join the Pac 10.
 
What's ever left of the Big 12 after 2012, when, IMO, Texas goes independent, will merge with some or all of what is left of the MWC. Teams like Oklahoma, Oklahoma St., Texas A&M will find their way to other BCS conferences leaving teams like the Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas St., Texas Tech and Baylor to absorb whichever MWC teams would jump over to make it a 12-14 team conference.

I think Missouri to the Big Ten could still be a possibility after 2012. I don't know how good of a possibility, just think it is not dead. It fits geographically and there are a lot of new TVs in Kansas City and St. Louis to get. Gets the Big Ten a little tiny bit farther south as well.

I think there is a very good chance that the Big Ten is a 14-16 team league playing as early as the 2013 football season. I think that would be WITH Notre Dame in the fold as well.

If the Big Ten expands, I wouldn't mind seeing Missouri, Syracuse, Pitt and Notre Dame/Maryland.
 
the Big 12 was never going to add TCU. It adds nothing to the conference. They already have the Texas market locked up. All it would do is cut the payout to the other schools.
