Chip on TCU...
The Big 12 presidents on Thursday morning voted to add TCU to the conference and have formally agreed to grant rights for six years, two sources close to the situation told Orangebloods.com.
Details of TCU's exit from a commitment to the Big East wasn't immediately clear. But the Horned Frogs would join the Big 12 for the 2012-13 school year, the sources said.
TCU would give the Big 12 a total of 10 schools if Missouri stays in the conference. If Missouri, leaves, obviously the Big 12 would be at nine schools with TCU joining the conference."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.
"I honestly believe saying someone is a smart lawyer is damning with faint praise. The smartest people become engineers and scientists." -SU.
"Yet I still see wisdom in that which Uncle Ted posts." -creek.
GIVE 'EM HELL, BRIGHAM!

The other announcement is going to be around signing the tier 1 and 2 rights for 6 years. This is not good at all.Originally posted by Coach McGuirk View PostSource: On the Big 12- "Be on your toes ALL MORNING.

The only good news about this is that super conferences are at least a few years off. We have no chance of ever playing in a national championship. Playing in a bowl game better than the lowest tier bowls is nearly impossible as well. Maybe the Big 12 decides to expand out to 12 in a few years. I'm frustrated that it was right there and we blew it.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

you may be right, but I think you are jumping the gun. Tier one and tier two rights were announced together. Chill, more coming.
