TCU finds a new home

The news that TCU is heading to the Big East isn't a surprise, although it is sad that the Big 12 couldn't find a way to get them in. Maybe they could have brought BYU with them. While it looks good from a football perspective, the basketball team is going to get their asses handed to them on a regular basis. Not that they don't most days anyway, but it's going to be downright embarrassing. At least in football, they can lose two or three games and probably win the conference and get a BCS bid anyway. So they don't have to sweat as much to get a big BCS bowl payday. And that's what this is about after all - money. If any Frog supporter thinks this will make it easier for TCU to get into a national championship down the road, they'll be greatly disappointed. As of now, the caliber of play in that conference is really mediocre at best; they could run the table and still probably not get any higher than No. 3. It could actually hurt them in the long run. At least Utah was No. 5 at some point. I don't see a Big East team other than TCU even sniffing the Top 10 anytime soon.
