This comes from the New York Post
Having survived the most recent wave of expansion intact, the Big East Conference is studying ways to bolster its position and has targeted TCU as very attractive candidate to help strengthen its football league, The Post has learned.
“We are in a situation that requires us to evaluate and analyze all our options including expansion and television," said a source close to the league who requested anonymity. “There are a dozen or so schools that we’re looking at."
Two sources said the TCU discussion developed recently. The school’s tradition, academics and recent success have lifted the university’s profile. TCU (4-0) is ranked fifth in the polls and many believe it is currently the best team in Texas.
Interesting piece of information. The travel wouldn’t exactly be great, but it’s not much worse than the Mountain West Conference. As long as the conference is somewhat stable and has a BCS automatic bid attached to it, TCU has to jump at that opportunity. Plus, TCU could dominate the Big East in football and have an easier path to a BCS game. Got to love college football conference expansion rumors. Where is Chip Brown??
