Iowa State went to a bowl game and Baylor didn't. Sure Baylor has one great athlete in Robert Griffin, but when he goes what the hell will they have? They are so far behind the rest of the Big 12 South it's not even funny.
Actaully, they were good till Griffin went out for the year with injury. Point being, they are playing better. Baylor is good at BBall too like I said. And they bring more, in total, to the table than Iowa State does.

Why would they go after TCU??? They do not offer any significant media market that they do not already have.

They can have essentially 100% control over that Dallas Fort Worth market. They'd also bring in more money than Baylor would.


Few outside of Ft. Worth care about TCU, and even there it's only when they're winning. It takes a "huge" game against Utah to sell out their little stadium even with a potential shot at the Rose Bowl.

Iowa State gives them access to the state of Iowa. Baylor gives them access to what? The 10th biggest market in Texas? Baylor getting dropped in favor of Houston or TCU makes more sense then dropping Iowa State.
