w/ regards to the original purpose of this topic.

Yeah, there are some delicate conversations underway.

obv..that doesn't clue me into much and it fuels more speculation but this is exciting.

Assuming TCU's dead set against us, how much pull do they really have as a new member of the Big East?

I havent heard any major SMU sentiment. More anti UH than SMU. Really dont get the major anti UH stuff either. Would help if you guys played Baseball.

Now if Baylor wanted to come along... They can grab their F'ing shine box.

TCU doesn't have a lick of pull in the Big East...it isnt an Ole Boys Club...its purpose is money making.

I would think any member school would have some pull. Wasnt my point. Point was, I dont hear much if any anit SMU sentiment with regard to conference affiliation coming from TCU. I do hear quite a bit regarding UH.

The TCU to the BE situation happened by chance. Two friends, one the BBall HC at Pitt and our AD visited during the Baylor game and Dixon mentioned the BE was looking to expand. CDC asked if they might be interested in the Frogs. Dixon took that back to the commissioner and it fast tracked from there.

I figured the Centers for Disease Control figured into the move in some way.

We could care less if they travel. We almost averaged a sellout this year and we benefited almost zero from opponent travel. We will enjoy the extra 6 to 10 mil per year in revenue though.

after 100-200 years you will catch us in the endowment process with that extra cash

Don't you mean you couldn't care less? It's amazing how many people butcher that expression, makes you wonder why they bother using it at all.

Our biggest selling point will be that we are in the Dallas Market.

So is TCU.
