After arguing whether or not non-BCS Conference schools should be qualified to play in the BCS National Championship game, TCU decided joining a BCS Conference would be in its best interest.
In 2012, TCU will become the 17th school in the Big East. They are joining in all sports, ending the debate about whether or not they should be able to play in the Championship as a member of a lesser conference.
According to ESPN, "Having BCS automatic-qualifying status was a priority for our football program and a great reward for the success we've had the last decade," TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte said in a statement.
As a member of the Mountain West, TCU found it difficult to be considered a top team in the league. It's not surprising since they often had cupcake schedules compared to those of a BCS Conference school. It's time for TCU to put their money where their mouth is and show that they belong in National Championship talks. I respect them for taking the leap and really look forward to seeing what they can do in a real conference.
