Apparently, the Big 12 Conference welcome mat has been extended to TCU.
The Forth Worth, Texas school is meeting today (Thursday) to consider an opportunity to join the league. If the Horned Frogs accept, they will leave the Big East Conference without ever playing a game in it. Earlier, TCU decided to leave the Mountain West Conference for the Big East.
Well, the Big 12 would welcome the Horned Frogs with open arms, what about the commitment they made to the Big East? TCU is trying to mold young men and women, but what type of message would its actions send? Aren’t the Horned Frogs telling their students and everyone else that it is okay to break contacts at a moments notice even though the marriage hasn’t even started?
Welcome to the present landscape of college athletics. Commitments are loose and based upon what’s good for a particular school.
TCU’s move would make sense geographically and also financially, but what about its word to the Big East?
Meanwhile, the Big 12 is still waiting to hear Missouri’s status. Do the Tigers really have any offer from the SEC or is it wishful thinking?
Things are never simple in the Big 12 whether it’s TCU, Missouri or Texas.
