Maybe there was no interest from either party, TCU or the Big 12, I never heard a thing.  But my initial take is that this is a really good thing for both TCU and the Big East.  The Big East needs more quality programs because there was already folks slamming them saying they didn't deserve the automatic BCS qualify.  It's good for TCU as they recruit players who want to have a chance at BCS games and championship.  TCU joins a conference where I think they will be highly valued and not get pushed around like they would have in another conference we know of.  Good for them, good for the Big East.  Not sure what the Big 12 is doing...or really care after Saturday night.
