PrintWest Virginia left was kicked out of the Big East and will be joining the Big 12 for the beginning of the fall 2012 athletic calendar.
The Big 12 now adds the Mountaineers and TCU to form a 10-team conference with a 9-game round-robin format.
Some highlights of the conference schedule which was announced today after the jump.
Sept. 15- TCU at Kansas
Sept. 22- Kansas State at Oklahoma
Sept. 29- Baylor at West Virginia
Sept. 29- Texas at Oklahoma State
Oct. 6- West Virginia at Texas
Oct. 13- TCU at Baylor
Oct. 13- Texas at Oklahoma (Cotton Bowl)
Oct. 20- Baylor at Texas
Oct. 27- TCU at Oklahoma State
Nov. 3- Oklahoma State at Kansas State
Nov. 3- TCU at West Virginia
Nov. 10- Baylor at Oklahoma
Nov. 10- West Virginia at Oklahoma State
Nov. 17- Oklahoma at West Virginia
Nov. 24- Oklahoma State at Oklahoma
Nov. 24- TCU at Texas
Dec. 1- Oklahoma State at Baylor
Dec. 1- Oklahoma at TCU
Thoughts?
The Sooners will have one heck of a second half schedule. After facing Notre Dame they will travel to Iowa State, then host Baylor, travel to West Virginia, host Oklahoma State, and travel to TCU.
Oklahoma has faced Oklahoma State to finish the regular season every year since 2004---but will not in 2012.

I'm very interested
To see what Weis does at Kansas. I have a feeling that, good or bad, it’ll be interesting. Will they crash and burn like ‘07 Notre Dame? Will they find the worst ways possible to lose games, like ’08 and ’09 Notre Dame? And Dayne Crist at Kansas is also quite interesting. From watching him play here, my feeling is he’s got a lot of talent but just doesn’t have great QB instincts, or much of a feel for the game. But I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that he plays well, Notre Dame’s QBs struggle, and everyone chastises Kelly for giving up on Crist too soon. I’ve already got my “Dayne Crist sucked against USF, let’s not rewrite history” post ready to go just in case.

I also am looking forward to seeing how Weis fares at Kansas.
In any case, the bar’s pretty low after their last few seasons at KU. They’ve won 5 of their last 31 games. If Weis can get 4 or 5 wins this season, will he be considered a big success? That program needs a lot of help, and it’s hard to imagine how they could fail to improve over the next season or two with a little injection of talent and ambition. Frankly, I really hope Crist flourishes, and would put money on him doing really well – he’s stepping into the system he signed up for and prepared to run for 2 years before Kelly arrived.
I don’t know if pointing to Crist having about three awful drives against USF (mixed with some good dropped passes and some terrible ones) in his first game after 10 months away is going to convince anyone that he was a total lost cause at ND. You won’t convince me with that post, anyway. If Crist really excels, I think it will be fair to consider Kelly’s handling of his stable of QBs in 2011 in light of that. Either way, I wish Crist and Weis a good run at KU.

Even the Pope hates the Trojans
