broganreynik Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 A move the Big 12 should've made last year or even earlier, imo. Link Quote Link to comment
mel4red Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Yes, predictable as hell, and soon the Big 12 will be introduced as the "Longhorn Conference" so ESPN and Texas can keep the precious network in tact and not get crap about it. After all, it will be the network of the conference. Quote Link to comment
GM_Tood Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Kick out KU, KSU, ISU, MU and bring in *TCU, UTEP, Rice, Houston, and SMU. hmm... Quote Link to comment

After all, it will be the network of the conference. Actually last year all of the Texas schools were off the expansion board because it did not expand the "conference footprint" Me thinks somebody is getting desperate? Quote Link to comment
gratefullred Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I had heard BYU was the obivious choice. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 How stupid does TCU feel after the recent Big East exodus...stupid enough to join the Big XII apparently. Quote Link to comment
Notre Dame Joe Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Big East is in real trouble now. Quote Link to comment
HuskerCarter Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 if im not mistaken, if TCU does decide to go to the Big 12, they have to pay an exit fee to the Big East. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 if im not mistaken, if TCU does decide to go to the Big 12, they have to pay an exit fee to the Big East. I wonder if Syracuse and Pitt leaving gives them a case for bailing out without an exit fee? Quote Link to comment
broganreynik Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 if im not mistaken, if TCU does decide to go to the Big 12, they have to pay an exit fee to the Big East. According to Tim Brando on his radio show, they would have to pay a $5 million penalty, but don't have to wait 27 months to join the Big XII. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 In other words, no filmed high school content [on Longhorn Network], and any Big 12 games that appear on the LHN must have the approval of all parties involved. The Whorns made a few concessions on their precious Whorn Network. I wouldn't be surprised to see the contract between espn and UT blow up at some point. Quote Link to comment
NoKoolAidForME Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 This may be the window that everyone is looking for in regards to Notre Dame. The Big East now has 6 football schools in the conference. The others will be looking to bail. I saw that even some of the non football school may be looking to move. If that happens ND may be looking for a landing sport for their other programs and it may be leverage for them to hold out on their independence for football. Quote Link to comment

Gossip says the Big12 wil take us as a nonfootball member if the BigEast collapses. So in either scenario, we'll be seeing TCU cheerleaders in our basketball stadium. Quote Link to comment

I believe the concession they made was to not show any H.S. highlights by they now have 3 games on the network each year instead of two. So they gave up something they never had to get a third game. In the words of Charlie Sheen "WINNING". Quote Link to comment
HuskerCarter Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Its official they move to the Big 12. http://espn.go.com/dallas/ncf/story/_/id/7085749/big-12-vote-unanimous-allow-tcu-horned-frogs-2012-13 Quote Link to comment
