TCU trustees are set to meet Monday and will accept an invitation to join the Big 12, sources confirmed to ESPNDallas.com.
There could be an announcement as early as Monday night.
The Big 12 invited TCU to join the conference last Thursday. TCU had been set to join the Big East for the 2012-13 season. But the departure of Texas A&M for the SEC left an opening in the Big 12, one conference leaders felt would be best filled by TCU. The Big East would be left with six football-playing members.
Meanwhile, Air Force has reached out to the Missouri Valley and WAC about the potential of placing its other sports should it accept a football-only invitation to the Big East. The Boston Globe reported that the Big East was considering Boise State, Air Force and Navy as football-only members and UCF and Temple as full members.
