Via Chip Brown... this is a day old and the quotes are centered on TCU but I thought this was relevant to the BE/B12 merger (or mass defection) theory.
TCU continues to be a strong candidate to become school No. 10 in the Big 12, the sources said.
"Being in the same time zone is a bigger priority than most people think when it comes to adding someone to the Big 12," a high-ranking official at a Big 12 school told Orangebloods.com.
Interim Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas has said that geographic proximity is important in terms of conference members having commonality. Neinas also said there might be some resistance to adding TCU.
And while most have assumed Texas is the one that would resist TCU, sources close to Texas have said UT wouldn't hold up such a move.
