Excellent addition for Big East Circles in bringing TCU into the Big East for all Sports. For those who do not know, TCU is the shortened version of Texas Christian University of Fort Worth TX. Pitt basketball coach Jamie Dixon played there. Under Gary Patterson, the Horned Frogs have been a power in college football. With a 12 and 0 record, TCU was ranked third in the BCS rankings this season and are going to a BCS Bowl. What is next under the stars for the Big East Conference. From what I have heard through my football contacts is that Villanova is done deal for Big East Football. The Villanova Wildcats will expand their Villanova Stadium to accommodate their NCAA Division 1A status. Villanova will be an excellent addition to Big East Football also. Big East Football picks up 2 major television markets. The Philadelphia Area is a big market as is the Dallas/Fort Worth Area. Who knows, but the Big East Football may expand to a 12 team league and is considering adding the U. of Central Florida Knights and the Houston Cougars. The league could have a North and South Division if this occurs. And adding Central Florida and Houston provides 2 more good sized television markets in the Houston, TX area and the Orlando, FL area. Who knows, maybe down the road, Notre Dame Football may consider joining the Big East but for now I doubt it.
