Those schools had 2 cards to play against TCU in terms of recruiting. They are in a major conference, and they play Texas. TCU now has both of those cards.
By themselves, it doesn't have a big impact, but it will if Houston, SMU, etc. do the same.
Another thing it does is increase the total number of BCS conference teams next year (would have happened even if TCU went to the Big East). That's a problem for the have nots in the Big XII if this thing goes to 4 16-team conferences.
There are only 64 spots in that scenario, and this move likely pushes someone else out because TCU just leap-frogged several schools.
