It's gonna be hard for TAMU to keep that rivalry with Texas going. SEC play will eat up most of the schedule with 8-10 games then whomever they choose to play OOC for the remaining games. Not sure how many games In-Conference they SEC will have next year but if it's 10 then TAMU will only get 1 or 2 OOC games depending on if they schedule an 11 or 12 game season.

How about SMU re-joining most of the teams that played in the old SWC by jumping up to the Big 12? It would be a big leap for them but it would be a huge step on their continued recovery from the death penalty.

What?!?!?!?!
SMU is joining the big 12?? Wow!

Hey!! Bring back Rice, Houston! :lol:

I didn't think about how the schedule might be.. Good point!

Not saying SMU has been invited but it could happen. Get back in with the big boys. Hey, why not add Tulsa also?

Jackrabbit379 · #24 09-28-2011, 02:52 PM

I think Tulsa would be good..
I could also see them inviting the old SWC schools. I think TCU would be good, but they jumped their conference ship, and are now in Big East.

I think TCU is on the edge of leaving the Big East before they ever arrive there officially next year. If another team or two leaves then expect TCU to leave also. That said, the ND to the ACC rumor has some serious legs it's looking like. The question is, will ND commit as a full member? Apparently they are talking to each other, if they come to an agreement, expect UConn to be added with ND. If the ACC can't get ND to commit as a full member then expect the ACC to stand pat is what those in the loop are saying.

Well according to our news here, TCU has officially been offered to join the BIG-12. If they do it'll cost em 5 mil to leave the Big East.

Mr. Ford95 · #27 10-06-2011, 11:43 PM

$5 mil is chump change compared to what the ACC just raised their exit fee to. I would tell the BE to STFU and go pound some sand. TCU is not a full member yet, they have not played a single athletic event as part of the BE.

And now Mizzou is leaving the Big 12 for the SEC it looks like. They are still smarting over not getting an invite to the Big Ten with Nebraska. Guess WVU is still working on their jump to the ACC so the SEC has moved their offer to Mizzou.

TCU should be able to raise that 5 mil in about 15 minutes..

It's not offical yet, but I bet the frogs do go to the Big 12. Bob Stoops might be a little nervous.

(TCU is one of 2 teams that beat Stoops in Norman.)
In the last several years, we've wondered how TCU would have done if they were in the Big 12. We might find out... Even though, Baylor already gave them a big welcome.

TCU was the last team to beat OU at home and I just happened to be there. We had such high hopes for OU that year and it was an uphill battle all year. I THINK that was the year that USC spanked us in the National Championship Game. TCU's Pres said he is looking forward to renewing old rivalries. I personally think they would be a good fit, and heck, their right here for pete's sake. I thought I heard today or read somewhere that it could be as soon as Monday that a final decision will be made.

I'm just waiting for SMU to get an invite now, the old SWC has basically been resurrected if that happens. SMU did just beat TCU at TCU this past Saturday. I would love to see them finally get back to playing with the big boys after the death penalty. June Jones has done a wonderful job of bringing in the talent to be competitive again.

What's really funny about TCU is that they will set a record that will never be broken, shortest amount of time spent in a conference before joining a new one, 0 days.
