the Fort Worth school would be joining the Big East
Conference in July of 2012. TCU's football team is
currently posting its second great season, having gone
unbeaten in eleven outings. The Horned Frogs are
currently in the Mountain West Conference and
obviously the cream of the crop there. As the number
three team in the national standings, TCU is headed for
a major Bowl Game appearance. Fort Worth is the national
headquarters of the Big 12 Conference, and that would look
to be the natural fit. Even with the defection of Nebraska and
Colorado from the Big 12, TCU would have regional rivalries
with Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Baylor, all of them
former members of the old Southwest Conference. TCU will
be able to hold their heads up high in football in the Big East,
but when basketball season rolls around it could be a horse of
a different color. The schools in the Big East that TCU will play
looks like the winner's bracket of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. The Big East has a membership that includes:
Louisville, Marquette, Notre Dame, Rutgers, Seton Hall,
St. John's, Villanova, Georgetown, and DePaul. Connecticut
is also a member of the Big East, but also the location of
ESPN, the cable sports complex. That assures the Frogs of
some national exposure and that is probably the ultimate reason
