A not so funny thing happened to Texas Christian University on the way out of the Mountain West Conference to playing in the Big East Conference in 2012.
After losing Nebraska to the Big 10, Colorado to the Pac-12, the Texas A&M SECession, and Missouri putting out feelers to the SEC as well, the Big 12 finally decided it had enough of being picked on and replaced its commissioner Don Beebe with Chuck Neinas on September 22.
In addition to working on keeping Missouri in the league and looking at other candidates for expansion, TCU was extended a formal invitation to join the Big 12 conference and if accepted will be playing in the league starting in the 2012-13 school year.
[Image]It's a conference move that makes sense, finally puts the Big 12 in the DFW television market and reestablishes some old SWC rivalries, especially a newly reignited one with Baylor.
TCU alums have much hateraid for Baylor and blame BU for the Horned Frogs not getting into the Big 12 in the first place when it was founded in 1996.
Congratulation to TCU, you definitely deserve it and hope you guys have much success beating the hell out of Longhorn Elementary.. But hey Big 12, don't stop your Lone Star expansion with TCU.. There's a pretty good university here in H-town that deserves to be in a BCS conference as well, despite what the burnt orange flavored hateraid sippers have to say.
