Texas Christian University has received an invitation to become the 10th member of the Big 12 Conference, potentially setting off a new wave of colleges switching leagues.
The Horned Frogs had earlier committed to join the Big East Conference beginning in July of 2012. The school will have to pay a $5 million exit fee, but because it wasn’t an official member, it won’t have to wait 27 months to change conferences.
