TCU Turned Down the SEC?

now that is some pure delusion there


congrats to TCU for spinning that shitte

Can't they just be happy they're going to the BigXII where they belong?

TCU will always get curbed stomped by a 8-4 Texas team. For all the talent in that state, they suck more often than not...that goes for Texas too.

That is plain uhtarded

Now he's saying the SEC only inquired but didn't invite TCU. I'm not sure how that stands with him saying TCU said "Thanks, but no thanks."

Either TCU rebuffed them, or they weren't invited.

Tcu brings 0 to the table, small private school, few alum, no new markets. LIE

What happens to athletes at OU, OSU, and UT?

Baylor basketball is one of the dirtiest programs in the NCAA.

And I'm not naive enough to believe that A&M is 100% clean...just cleaner than most....

Theres no doubt that they will do better in the Big 12 than the SEC.....but do you honestly believe that if TCU would have gone balls to the wall to get into the SEC, they could have?

I'm not trying to take shots at TCU, I just think the column posted is quite a leap in assumptions.

It isn't so much that TCU isn't "good" enough....its more than the SEC adding 2 teams in the same state makes 0 sense.

If they aren't willing to take OSU to get OU, they aren't willing to take TCU to go along with A&M. Non starter for the SEC.

"Do I think they could have got in? Maybe but it would have been a far reach.

Do I think it is possible the SEC inquired about TCU intrest considering the alterantives of MO, WVU, FSU, Miami? Sure."

I can buy that. But the article infers that TCU turned DOWN The SEC in favor of the Big 12. Thats a little misleading.

The overall point that TCU will fare better in the Big 12 is definitely on target. But the writer feeling the need to even mention the SEC and take shots at the SEC is a little petty.

Draw an imaginary line across Texas, with DFW being in the new state of "North Texas" and Houston being in the state of "Southeast Texas", and we wouldn't be having this conversation that assumes A&M delivers DFW. I'm not saying that TCU does any better, because they don't, but the SEC will be sorely disappointed in the viewership that A&M will bring in DFW. TCU would've increased the penetrance in the market, especially with the SEC brand and money behind them--this is why the SEC began vetting TCU. I think ultimately the Big 12 will be better for TCU and the SEC would've passed on TCU because we wouldn't have brought more than Mizzou therefore justifying the selection and further revenue split, so it works out for all involved. We'll just never know what the end result of a full look at TCU by the SEC would've been because the Big 12 made their offer early in the process.

This also works out for me because the likelihood of me having to choose between TCU and LSU in a game is much less (except for OOC in a few years).
