Say what do WVU, TCU, Utah have in common?
okay now what's the 2nd thing they all did before that?
You aren't really that naive, are you?
TCU - They could get out of the Big East contract relatively easily (I think 5 million without waiting). Some schools wanted another Texas school to compete.
WVU - A decent size program that had history AND were willing to pay more to get out of their contract early. The Big12 needed another school to get to 10 for their TV contract. They were the biggest fish to bite.
Utah - Who knows. I can't remember who they played let alone what bowl game they won. They are the flagship public school in a continuos state. If it were really about who was winning, wouldn't they have taken Boise St instead?
The Big12 needed to get to 10 or they lost their contract. TCU and WVU were the best they could get that fit what they needed.
