Postby goldenstang » Thu Oct 06, 2011 10:16 am

tweet from Chip Brown

Sources tell OB Big 12 presidents voted this morning to invite TCU and have formally agreed to grant rights on Tier 1 and 2 TV for 6 yrs.

If true, great for them. Hope the Big XII stabilizes after this.

Not sure at this point why anyone here would be happy about this, if true...

Well I kinda of hope the Big East decides to consolidate with a Southern Division or we are kinda stuck out in the wilderness. Not really seeing that indication yet but that's what needs to happen

Wonder who the second school is? BYU? Man, that hurts. If UT didn't want one metroplex school, they sure aren't going to want two from the metroplex. vomit.

i guess we'll always have 40-33. Don't erase your Tivos boys. Too bad Turner waited 10 years too long to wake up and get us competitive. Hard work nothing, it took us too long to do the littlest things that should have been no brainers.

this was obviously coming down the pike in my view, but it still stings. Really exposes us and has a feeling of finality.

We all knew this was going to happen. Can't believe anyone thought differently.
