Lots of interesting (and predictable) responses, however, the OP said nothing about AAU, Academics, Fan Base, Brands, Potential, or any of that other crap. What I am talking about is performance on the field. And I don't care about 20 years ago, but am looking at recent history (since 2000).
TCU: BCS Bowls - 2 (1-1)
Wva: BCS Bowls - 3 (3-0)
Mizzou: BCS Bowls - 0
A&M: BCS Bowls - 0
In terms of performance on the field, the evidence is clear that adding TCU & West Virginia to the Big 12 has made it a stronger football conference. I'll even go 1 step further - Either TCU or WVa is better than either A&M & Mizzou in football. The Big 12 just became a better football conference.
Now you can argue all you want about potential and all that other stuff. Potential just means that you haven't done it yet.

I'll even go 1 step further - Either TCU or WVa is better than either A&M & Mizzou in beating shitty teams that A&M nor Mizzou ever play. The Big 12 just became an even more watered down conference but I hope this band-aid buys Mack enough time to squeeze another MNC in before the whole thing goes to shite.
FIFY

@ using WVU BCS bowl records when they get free passes every year because of the weakness of the Big East. What about the season where WVU was ranked below Mizzou in the BCS ranking but went ahead of them to BCS games because of the idiocy of the system?
Or this year when they get to play Clemson in a 'BCS bowl' while K-St. and Arkansas get pushed to the Cotton Bowl?

You're telling us this in a year where the Big12 conference champion got shut out of the title game so two schools from the SAME conference end up playing for the crystal football? And the Big12 is losing (another) one of it's biggest brands to the same aforementioned conference?
What your post lacks in substance, it makes up for in balls. Props

It saved the Big 12 for the time being.

That's a close call. Missouri and A&M will continue to improve. Recruiting will improve for them as well,imo.

The Big 12 lost Nebraska, Colorado, A&M, and Missouri. There's a reason for this. The SEC lost NO teams. The Big 12 isn't as strong as they were but they're not collapsing, just weakened.

Are you kidding? The SEC is strong EVERY year. There's a good reason for that as well. The addition will benefit Missouri and A&M and their addition will make the SEC even stronger.
