There has been a lot of reports coming out about the possibility of TCU joining the Big East. No, seriously, ESPN and other networks are all over this.
Football wise, this would be a great addition to the Big East, as I believe that TCU is better than any other team in the conference.
Geographically however, it is another story.
TCU is in Fort Worth, which is located roughly 1700 miles away from the league headquarters in Providence, Rhode Island; TCU is also located at least 1000 miles away from five of the Big East members.
The closest school is Louisville which is 900 miles away.
Some of the people who defend the idea of TCU joining the Big East argue that Nebraska is 1200 miles away from Penn State.
There are also the ones who remind me that TCU currently travels a lot in its current conference, for example, New Mexico is 600 miles away, a trip to Utah is 1240 miles away.
The only thing that I dont understand is why the Big 12 has not shown any interest in TCU.
Perhaps the Big 12 wants to keep its 10 team format.
TCU will be a great addition to whatever conference they decide to join.
