TCU and WVU were rated football teams... That's why the media contracts wanted us to bring them in.

The rest of the power conferences made long term decisions while working with network partners.

Yep. Doesn't mean that it wasn't the right decision in the long run, but if it does, it's more dumb luck than shrewd planning.

I also don't think the media guys really understood that a better conference might hurt those teams... But hopefully being in the Big12 helps their recruiting to get up there again.

Which is possible, but from my eyes it seems we made a decision with the next 10 years in mind while other conferences are thinking of the next 50.

I don't think anyone here is doubting Fox's understanding of what is good for Fox. Fox jumped at the opportunity to add the flavor of the month over a Louisville program that is poised for long term success that may not be realized monetarily for a few more years. (Then they proceeded to win a BCS bowl and a national championship in basketball...oops.) NOBODY in the Big East wishes they had kept TCU if it meant not getting Louisville.

TCU's was an atrocious add. They brought absolutely nothing to the table for the Big XII. Big fish in a small pond. Seemed like a knee jerk move to me. Nothing wrong w/ adding WVA. State school, decent hoops and fball programs, expands the footprint even if it isn't contiguous. For what was available it was fine. They were a big fish in a small pond as well but that's a program that can grow and hold their own over time, plus additional TV sets. TCU OTOH is Baylor playing in the Mountain West.

WVA is like Neb and Ark in that they are the only show in town in states that rabidly follow them. The footprint expands and adds to the potential Tier 3 dollars of a conference network should the league decide to reverse course and pool all of that and given the way things have gone for Bevovision that may happen eventually. TCU is just another TX school in a league that has them in spades and no longer has the advantages they enjoyed in the MWC. WVA get now get players from there as well as their usual recruiting haunts. WVA they could take or leave but it's a decent enough add for what was available at the time. TCU is just a drain on the teet.

Dayton Moore is a scout and has said multiple times he relies on teh scoutning approach over the Sabermetrics one. But this was a very nice faceplant on your part. Do better next time.

What exactly is Miss State? What is Vandy? What is Ole Miss? I mean, for most years South Carolina has been a net zero. The SEC has dogs too. I don't see what the SEC gains having 2 mouths to feed from the most impoverished state in the US. |
