1. TCU is in a market the Big 12 really already had.
2. TCU while good in football is by no means an "elite" program. They are very on and off.
3. TCU does not have an elite basketball program.
4. And by no means are they bad academically but they are not.

Yet another justification you are pulling out your behind.

Simple. Higher quality football programs.

Your football team is better but it's not that much better. If you guys were both in the Big 12 you would be much more close to Cincinnati than you would OU or Texas.

They did beat us twice in the seven years we were conference mates, so I guess that makes us about the same.

Until the last year of the BCS, WVU had more BCS bowl wins than the entire ACC. During the decade of the 2000s, they were #15 in win %. TCU was #7, behind only Boise, Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio St., USC and Florida. Cincinnati did well that decade, but well meant only #32. Memphis was #82.

In all time win %, WVU is top 25. They have won 59.8% (as of 2014) of their games. TCU is 53.6%, Cincinnati 51.0% and Memphis 47.8%.

But TCU can't really claim those national championships. Literally four teams claimed 1935 & Tennessee who went undefeated and had one of the best teams in college football history also claims 1938.

1935 is definitely debatable for TCU, but 1938 TCU was AP #1. If TCU can't claim a national championship in a year in which they were AP #1, then no school should be able to claim a national championship.

And Tennessee claims a national championship in any year that Alabama doesn't. Their claims are pretty absurd.
