It's the dawn of a new era in the Big 12 Conference. Today we officially welcome Texas Christian University and West Virginia University into the Big 12 family.

Pretty impressive both for the quality of each respective institution as well as for a league that many had left for dead this time last year.

Now, however, the Big 12 is as strong as every and the addition of both TCU and WVU help contribute to that fact.

Welcome to our new Horned Frog and Mountaineer brethren! We couldn't be happier that you're now officially part of the Big 12!

For those not already aware, both TCU and WVU are represented in high quality fashion on SB Nation by Frogs O' War and The Smoking Musket respectively. We here at CCM are definitely looking forward to working with them both in the future!
