Two BCS bowls, DFW market, and SWC history

The Big 12 needed to fill the gap left by Texas A&M in Texas, and TCU's Rose Bowl win and Fiesta Bowl appearance gave them national prominence.

TCU also had a 72-year history in the SWC and would have jumped at a Big 12 invite when the SWC fell apart. They were in the same conference with Texas, Texas Tech, and Baylor for a very long time.

Actually, almost all Big 12 schools have distribution methods

The value BYU would bring to Big 12 right now is some add'l/better TV inventory

Geography, travel, rep as "difficult" are also significant issues...

If it's all about money, TCU doesn't pull its weight, not even close

7/22/14 10:05am

True, but beating Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl matters + bigger market potential

7/22/14 12:53pm

Potential that will never be realized
