We’ll see some realignment in the league as Missouri leaves for the Big Ten and TCU is added to fill the Tigers’ place. That move will give Big 12 leaders an excuse for realignment that eventually will be selected from a blind draw of plans at Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe’s desk. The Osborne Division will have Nebraska, Colorado, Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M. The Royal Division will give a home to TCU, Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State. After four years of play, that grouping will prove so unpopular that the old divisional format will be adapted with TCU joining the South Division and Oklahoma State moving to the North.
While the addition of the Tigers doesn’t have the same built-in excitement of a Notre Dame or Pittsburgh enter, perhaps it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.
