If not TCU, then who?

It seems there are some that don't agree with the Big 12 decision to bring in TCU. It makes me ask the question who do you think they should have added?

For the record, I think TCU is about as good as they could have done.

Re: If not TCU, then who?

TCU in it itself is not a big deal, if it's part of the process of getting to 12 or 14 teams then it's a big deal. Either way it signifies that the B12 is at least making an effort to try to stay alive.

Not a whole lot of good options out there for them.

I didn't think there were a lot of otpions out there but yet Hawkeye fans still dogging on the Big 12 for their addition in the other threads.

I guess that's just Hawk fans being hawk fans.

Not really, Just because they got (maybe) the best of what's available doesn't mean it adds anything. It doesn't even replace what they lost. I think it really just shows that there isn't a whole lot of value that can be added to the big 12. Like someone said in the other thread, they just added the 4th or 5th biggest school in the state of Texas. Sure they've had success recently but do they bring $$$$ to the table?

Trying to grab one of the Arizona schools would have been a better grab. Would either leave the Pac 12 probably not.

What's done is done and in what they lost is in the past. At this point I think they made a good move. They added possibly the best team available and posistion themselves to stick around longer. I think it was a lot better move than just staying put and watching the conference dissolve.

You said it... they weren't going to leave the PAC.

The Big12 does not deserve to be dogged about adding TCU. They deserve to be dogged for getting themselves in a position that required them to make this move.

And it's not over yet. Who is going to replace Missouri? How about replacing OU and OSU when the Pac12 changes their mind in a couple of years?

Can't disagree with that.

Yet to so a school listed, which means TCU is a good get for the Big 12. End of story.

2 schools were listed in post 7 and that's some pretty weak logic.

The B12 has no chance at getting a school away from the Pac12.
