Mizzou being 'chosen' is all about $$$$$$$. It's potential TV sets and neither TCU or WVU add much. I agree WVU is better in almost all regards but this isn't about that. I still have serious doubts about TCU even being considered by the SEC. It's possible I guess but if TCU really wanted better things for their program, being Bevo's bitch isn't the way to go.

Here is the question... Is breaking up the Texas TV market (TCU and TAMU) better than the ole Missouri market?

TCU is very smart to head to the Big12 over the SEC. They sit smack dab in the middel of the Big12 and all those recruits. If you bring in a BYU, WVU or Louisville they are in a fantastic setting for success.

The SEC's biggest problem is how strong the conference is which can work against us.

TCU adds nothing in the way of viewers. I don't care that they are in the middle of the Metroplex - no one goes out of their way to watch TCU football. I don't know if this is EsipN and their PR machine trying to make the SEC look bad in a way. If this is true, there will be more come out and not from EsipN. A&M would have been contacted I believe and asked about adding TCU IF it's true.

Arky will be fine in all of this. Recruiting it will help and I believe it doesn't matter if it improves Louisville or WVU's recruiting. A recruit will choose the chance to play in the SEC than in Bevo X. For those other teams, I think all of dilutes their options. The SEC brand is strong.
