Im here watching the Albany NY football game and that field is covered in snow. Do any Big 12 schools even worry about playing in snow? Im pretty sure yall dont get it often. Maybe that could be an advantage come November?

Lincoln, Boulder, Ames, Manhattan, Lawrence, Columbia.....all those places get snow in the late fall. So all the Big 12 teams have played in cold weather. Even Stillwater, Norman, Lubbock, and Fort Worth get snow most years. But typically in Jan/Feb so not during football season. But it not like the kids have never seen it.

As for TCU, we spent the last 6 years in the MWC. Laramie, Fort Collins, Provo, Salt Lake, and Colorado Springs.

But FWIW, it is definitely a advantage for the home team anytime a team from a warmer weather spot has to play in really cold or snowy weather. I don't imagine Morgantown will be a easy place for anyone to play, no matter what the time of year is. Morgantown doesn't exactly have the reputation as a easy road win.

Yeah, men's soccer doesn't exist in the Big 12. I am not even sure if any of the schools (besides WVU who is joining) have a men's program that plays in another conference. TCU used to have men's soccer, but dropped it in the early 2000s.

Big 12 is a decent women's soccer league; although, their historically best program (Texas A&M) is leaving.
