Better late than never, I guess.

Can't you all leave well enough alone?

RUN MIZZOU, RUN

To where? They don't have an invite to the B1G or SEC yet.

[Guest]

Yeah, let's invite TCU!

 

They add approximately seven people to the media footprint!

They have 6,000 fewer students than Baylor!

Their stadium has the capacity of that school from Friday Night Lights!

They’re the 7th best team in Texas this year!

Their basketball team may or may not be an actual thing!

 

Good thinking Grampa Neinas!

[Butterscup1679666578]

That's because you don't get invited to conferences. Well, the Big 12 does apparently. Still, you apply for membership.

 

And yes I know it's a technicality, because you don't apply for a conference when you know you won't get accepted. And you don't agree to pursue other opportunities if there aren't at least somewhat serious talks going on with other conferences.

It's sad that the Big 12 turned down all those other better schools that were clamoring to get in.

The Golden Hurricane is not amused.

[minnesotacubsfan]

they should be like the B1G and just allow everyone in and then deal with it through drop-out ratios

 

works for the kids, why cant it work for 3-rd tier schools

The Green Wave is not amused.

 

Are not amused?

Big 10 education at work.

[shnsajax]

Guessing BYU is next to the Big 12.

UNLV is right around the corner!

Half a Big 10 education at most.

Tulane offers more to the Bevo Conference than TCU does.

Tulane offers more to the Bevo Conference than TCU does.

 

More than Texas State did too.

hahahahaha TCU makes negative sense for the B12

 

Losing them doesn't really hurt us, either

It gives them 6 football schools, so the entire conference is in the hands of the ACC. They say "yes please" to UConn and Rutgers/West Virginia and the whole thing is shot.

No one beats an unfunny joke into the ground more than you guys here. You should be proud of yourselves.

Given that Pitt and Cuse had fled, this probably helps or at least doesn't really hurt. I can't imagine what's left of the Big East being happy to travel non-fb sports to Texas. That conference is down the tubes either way.

With the huge metro market that Boise State would bring them after that!
