Essentially, Texas Tech had to drop a non-conference opponent in order to fit in it's 9 game schedule with the Big 12. They decided to keep New Mexico and Nevada, but not play TCU.

TCU is going to suck next year. They graduate a lot of guys. I was kidding about them sucking, but they will take a step back. Most teams would with the losses they will have.

If you have to cut a game, you are not going to cut a home game. Not unless you can get equivalent money in return.

I do think TCU's success plays a part, but it is not the only reason.

The Big 12 will have 10 teams, that is funny

I don't personally know what they are losing and what they have coming back, but I do recall watching a discussion between commentators before one of the bowl games and they were all making predictions about next year, and one predicted TCU would win it all. I know they will have to replace their longtime QB, so that may be the biggest problem. I just glanced through their website and saw they had 3 highly ranked freshemen QB's this past year, but just how ready they will be as sophomores may be the key. At least with 3 the odds are better.

They'd rather spread raider rash and get smashed than play football.

It will be hard to replace Andy Dalton. Unless they pull a rabbit that can play QB out of their hat, they will take a step back next year. I'm damn happy they came away with a Rose Bowl championship this year while they still had Dalton.

Tech is not in the NC picture and TCU should have an easier time filling in a competitive schedule now that they are in an AQ conference.


Where's the beef?
