Good news for the Big 12

I’m glad to see the talk today is about TCU joining the Big 12 and not about another school leaving it. Now if Missouri will come to its senses, we can settle back down to a nice, albeit misnamed, 10-team league.

TCU will be an excellent competitor in football and baseball. Not so sure how the Frogs will stand up in basketball. We’ll just have to see.

The two obvious losers in this scenario are the Big East, which now has lost three football teams in a month, and SMU, whose active campaign to get into the Big 12 appears to have been rejected.

TCU, on the other hand, never belonged in the Big East in the first place. It would be like Texas joining the Atlantic Coast Conference or Texas A&M thinking it could compete in the SEC.
