          Big 12 presidents and chancellors voted Thursday morning to invite TCU as the league’s 10th member, two sources close to Texas told the American-Statesman. The deal should be finalized in the next few days

          • Welcome to the end of BYU football. The Cougars just fumbled on the 1" line. I sure hope they have a good announcement coming about scheduling in independence.

              • 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.

                  The other announcement is going to be around signing the tier 1 and 2 rights for 6 years. This is not good at all.

                        Yes... this is good news for our son that was turned down by BYU but is getting a lot of interest from TCU.

                          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.

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

                              Man I want to believe you. What a terrible start to the day.

                                I hope I'm wrong.
