TCU's leap to the Big East became the premiere example of how the college football landscape transcended geography and tradition and swung completely in favor of TV ratings and the BCS Big Bucks.

When ESPN argues that TCU's move to the Big East is logical because the Dallas Cowboys play in the NFC East 8212; well, that is all you need to know about the sorry state of college football.

When I was a kid, Christmas was my favorite day of the year. I'd wake up before sunrise, run down the hall, bang on my older brother's door, run the other way and jump into my parents' bed. It was the...

Name: Jerry Hughes

Position: Defensive end

Years Played at TCU: 2006-09

Current Team: Indianapolis Colts

Outcome of game: San Diego Chargers 36, Indianapolis Colts 14

Analysis: For the second straight week, Hughes did not make much of an impact, as he was unable to record any tackles. The Colts, however, were attempting to come back during most of the second half and could not afford to rest their starters. Hughes should see more time going forward once Indianapolis' offense gets its swagger back.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" was a subtle letdown. The movie was a disappointment; from the amount of time spent in scenes in the woods or traveling, to the seizure-inducing rapid cutting.

TCU announced Monday that all athletic teams will leave the Mountain West Conference to join the Big East Conference beginning July 1, 2012.

Monday morning, the TCU Board of Trustees unanimously voted to accept the Big East's offer to join the conference for a number of reasons, Chancellor Victor Boschini said.

"We have spent the entire morning...discussing the pros and cons in this decision, and we decided unanimously about the pros," Boschini said.

Boschini said the conference gives TCU a chance to excel not only athletically, but also academically.

The No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs secured at least a Rose Bowl berth with their 66-17 win over New Mexico Saturday while also clinching their second consecutive undefeated regular season and Mountain West Conference title.

Coupled with a 34-31 overtime loss by then-No. 4 Boise State to then-No. 19 Nevada Friday night, the Frogs' path to a BCS bowl became clearer without the Broncos threatening to jump TCU (12-0, 8-0 MWC) in the standings.
