This really hurts Texas A&M.  One more BCS school they have to compete with for Texas recruits.  To TCU's advantage, they are getting new facilities and have had recent success.

Big 12 will still consider inviting BYU, Louisville, West Virginia no matter what Missouri does; Dodds, Castiglione prefer 10 team-league.


both of them would have to play a ccg wherever they would go.  the rest of the schools can decide on how many schools to add. 

This may just be posturing like we're not out to destroy the Big East either.  We just took a future member.

If MU stays and the SEC takes WVU, we may be able to then sit back and go grab Louisville off of the free market.

this.  take tcu...big east gets uneasy...sec gets wvu..big east collapses..we get UL.

Also some immediate benefits with TCU; cheap buyout from Big East, they can join immediately. Plus longterm I think they are fine and sort of replace aTm.

TCU expected to accept offer to Big 12. Will not have to wait 27 months, only pays $5 million to Big East bit.ly/nSg8uP

The reason for only 6 years is to give Texas time to get the LHN going and then they will go independent.  They'll never join a different conference, but they view this one as doomed and temporary.  OU isn't sticking around after that and we'll be stuck in a shitty conference.  That's why Missouri wants out now.  

no, denied. The (6) year grant of rights exceeds the time frame remaining on current TV contracts.

We have TV contracts now.  They're not keeping teams from leaving our conference.

That's why they are granting TV revenue rights to the conference. TV contracts only control what networks and when, and how much money the networks pay the conference. So the conference as a whole is bound to the networks. The grant of rights controls revenue sharing and binds the individual schools together. If you leave the conference after contractually agreeing to share your TV rights w/ the other schools, you still have to share your TV revenue with the conference you just left until that contract is fulfilled (expires).

This is probably the most accurate statement anyone could make about TCU.  Exchange "pretty" with "filthy" though.

Schulz also indicated league will have an announcement today on granting of rights and Longhorn Network.

SD called that one.

MU doesn't vote on TCU, doesn't get votes to join SEC.  Looks like the Big East has found their replacement!

All about being able to sell Texas recruits on playing many games in Texas.

So did BYU turn us down or are the decision makers in the conference tarded or am I tarded?
