TCU wants all sports or nothing

[Aughnanure]

TCU would probably go to the Missouri Valley Conference for all other sports. Saves traveling time, and is arguably a better basketball league and better for baseball.

Good thought.  I never thought about the MVC.

Your question was answered before...the BE kicked out Temple.

But I wouldn't be too excited about kicking out Seton Hall and De Paul.  Pretty soon eyes will be looking toward Milwaukee after that.  Don't think that MU wouldn't be on people's short list for contraction purposes.  I mean, if they decided to not only invite TCU, but Houston or UCF, kicking out MU and De Paul, but keeping Seton Hall, PC, etc for the sake of tradition, isn't as far-fetched as people might think.

Ok, I must have missed it before .. Temple was booted out.  However, the article said Temple was given four years to make other arrangements (told in 2001 and left in 2005).  We are talking like someone will be told to go away this summer and not be around next fall.

And, if I'm reading you correctly, you seem to be agreeing with me that kicking out a basketball only school to make room for football is a slippery slope that will not stop with one school.  It could spiral until the entire BE flies apart.

It would be so much easier if Notre Dame would just join the conference in Football.

Dump Notre Dame unless they join in football. They can find their own way for their other sports. Their other teams aren't worth it. This crap is getting old.

With buzz's ability to recruit texas, I wouldn't mind a road trip to tcu every other year.  Tcu hoops would get better - didn't the three amigos sign after mu was added to the big east?

This sh*t makes me sick.

F*CK college football.

Exactly.  This year might be Seton Hall, but what happens five years from now?  Ten years from now?  Once that cherry is popped, it's hard to go back.

I say bring them on as a full member and dump Seton hall.

If they come in as full members then MU would need to be dumped also because no football.
That's probably OK though, then we can get in a CYO league.
