They've already been in the Big 12 two years, why haven't they moved on to the SEC? They moved so quick from the SWC, to the Whack, to Coosa, to the fictional western airline, flirted with the idea of taming the BEast and finally moved on to the Big 12-2.

Because they finally made it home Auntie Em. They are back with most of their old SWC partners that ditched them years ago, and now with Oklahoma, OK State and the old Big 8 refugees that Nebraska and Colorado ditched for greener pastures not so long ago, that include teams from the fine state of Kansas and Toto land.

What would the SEC gain by adding TCU?

That would be like Big 10 adding Pitt.

Which move would you have advised against along the way, if given the choice?

I'm joking that TCU moves around so much, that it's taking them too long to move forward.

A Southern Man's Reasons T.C.U. May Never be in the SEC:
1. Southerner's take religion seriously. When T.C.U. officially changed their name to eliminate "Christian" in an effort to become more acceptable to the more anti-religious areas of the country they essentially soured all evangelicals in the South who are now completely convinced that they sold their souls to the devil for football acceptance in a foreign land. (For evidence watch "The Water Boy". "Foosball is evil Bobby!")

2. Southern men would immediately beat the hell out of anyone making "froggy hands" at them and this rule has no exceptions. The question in our minds is how did true Texas's boys ever permit this practice to remain? Even Hook'em Horns gestures do not evoke this visceral response that mimics your mother saying "I got your nose."

3. Southern men when talking "Horny" never follow that word with "Toads".

It's simply a no brainer for Southern Males that T.C.U. is not for the SEC (10th Mountain excepted but then he is an Aggie and the SEC is still researching Aggies for this and other strange beliefs that they hold.)

Southern Women will never accept T.C.U. for two reasons:

1. The religious reasons cited above. Maintaining an outward stance toward things that are inconsequential but otherwise "seem to be" anti religious is very very important to Southern women, particularly Baptist Southern women. It is necessary to maintain the illusion of holiness and add the perfume of faith necessary to cover the fact that secretly Southern Baptist women are easy, ridiculously easy, and anything that happens because of it was God's will and surely they will be forgiven for such minor lapses in judgment, and more importantly will still be revered by their men and God if they maintain their public vigilance by requiring the immediate public condemnation of anything that they deem God might hate. This makes them feel better. Then their husbands feel better, and their children are relieved. It is the only place in the world where zealousness begets grace (or at least relief) for the immediate family. Therefore those with sin may not only cast the first stone, but are morally driven to do so. So T.C.U., for dropping the official designation of their initials, would not deserve inclusion.

2. Their school colors are just plain tacky!

There C2 I hope this clears it up for you. T.C.U. likely will never be in the SEC.

They are waiting on the Pac-12 invite.

Not invited. Fine program, but SEC wants to add non-member state footprints. The only program from Texas that has an open invite to all conferences is Texas.

The answer is that the Big 12 isn't ready to dissolve yet.

Generally their conference disintegrates about the time they leave. TIAA after they joined the SWC, SWC dissolved so they moved to the WAC, WAC split with half the schools forming the MWC, WAC totally disappeared a few years after they moved to CUSA, CUSA 2.0 was formed when they moved to MWC and most of the rest moved to the BE (and a few years later CUSA 3.0 aka Sun Belt was formed), MWC 2.0 was formed when they moved to Big East and BYU and Utah also left, Big East dissolved before they even got there.

Please stop giving serious responses, this thread was not in any way meant to be taken serious.

As for the O.P. I've edited it.

so JRsec, it's okay for southern males to use the word Gamecocks (or its shortened version), but Horned Frogs is a no no. Got it.
And why would southern women have a problem with the colors? Wouldn't their dedication to football and baseball trump all?

Gamecocks are okay, but it's only because they don't make chicken hand signs at you. They do however have a loudspeaker generated rooster crow following big plays in the football game that can become annoying. As for Southern Women they would never mix purple with silver, but then you would have to live here to understand that.

I live here and I don't understand lol...

The SEC doesn't sponsor equestrian?

TCU to the ACC makes some sense. DFW is pretty easy to fly into and that gives the acc texas and FL. I guess you could say the same thing about the pac 12 or big 10. The SEC doesn't need another texas school other than Texas.

They haven't jumped to the SEC yet because they have a B1G invite in their pocket, but they can't punch that ticket until UCONN accepts their B1G invite.

We do and we've won multiple national championships in it, including Auburn and this year South Carolina I think.
