Exactly....adding Houston made more business sense than TCU

Why add TCU when you already had the market saturated. They should've added Houston in order to get a footprint directly back into east Texas.

Yeah TCU is good. But that's not your reason to expand or else Boise would be in a P5. It'd about market and eye balls. TCU wasn't either.

It's easy to infer it from the "BYU blew it crowd."

I've implied nothing that doesn't involve multiple parties, so try again.

That's irrelevant to why TCU was added when they were... different time.
