But a move to the Big East outta the Mountain West would end all the breath-holding and finger-crossing in coming seasons, should Gary Patterson's team keep on winning. From the Daily News:

TCU's Board of Trustees unanimously approved an invitation to join the Big East Conference in all sports beginning with the 2012-13 academic year. TCU will become an official member of the Big East July 1, 2012.
