They were the class of the league. They knew the league was a dead end and jumped ship. Too bad they are too far west for the Big East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFW is closer to Loiusville and Cincy than Tampa is. Understand that fact people.Airplanes get to anywhere and DFW has one of the best/biggest airports.DFW is absolutely a monster of a metro area (3X bigger than Orlando). Lock it down by bringing in TCU.A big name in football that is good almost every year.A no brainer if there ever was one, if the BE expands.

That said, simple name conflicts don't stop Xavier or St. Louis from being in the A-10, or the Big Ten from having 11 members.Or the University of South Florida from being in West-Central Florida.

We play in the Big EAST, understand that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their tailgating scene is as bad as Army's. There is a reason they are called Texas Christian University. Let's stick to universities in the Big East that know how to have a good game day experience (WVU, Cinci, Louisville, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
