The TCU Horned Frogs are the athletic teams that represent Texas Christian University, consisting of 18 varsity teams. The "horned frog" nickname and mascot refer to the Texas horned lizard, also known as the "horned frog". The teams participate in the NCAA Division I and in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) for football competing in the Big 12 Conference. On October 10, 2011, TCU announced that it had accepted an invitation to join the Big 12 Conference. ==History== Texas Christian University began its athletic life as an independent program with a six-year (1914–1920) stint in the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association before eventually joining its longtime home, the Southwest Conference (SWC), in 1923. TCU remained a member of the SWC until it disbanded after the 1995–96 academic year when the University of Texas, Texas A&M University, Texas Tech University and Baylor University defected from the conference to form the Big 12 Conference together with the members of the Big Eight Conference; the University of Arkansas had previously left for the Southeastern Conference in 1990, in the aftermath of the Southern Methodist University football scandal, leaving the SWC with no presence outside of the state of Texas). The Horned Frogs, without a conference to call home after 72 years, joined the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), along with SMU and Rice. TCU called the WAC home from 1996 through 2000. In 2001, TCU joined Conference USA (C-USA) and remained there through 2004. TCU joined the Mountain West Conference (MWC) in 2005. In 2010, TCU accepted an invitation to join the Big East Conference in all sports starting in 2012; however, on October 10, 2011, TCU announced that it had reversed its decision and would be joining the Big 12 (headquartered in another Metroplex city, Irving) in 2012 instead, a move that went into effect July 1.〔 DateFormat = yyyy ImageSize = width:1000 height:auto barincrement:24 Period = from:1911 till:2018 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal PlotArea = right:0 left:0 bottom:50 top:0 Colors = id:barcolor value:black id:line value:black id:bg value:white id:TIAA value:rgb(0.742,0.727,0.852) id:SWC value:rgb(0.98,0.5,0.445) id:WAC value:rgb(0.5,0.691,0.824) id:CUSA value:rgb(0.78,0.391,0.654) id:MWC value:rgb(0.551,0.824,0.777) id:B12 value:rgb(0.988,0.703,0.383) PlotData= width:15 textcolor:black shift:(3,-5) anchor:from fontsize:m bar:1 color:TIAA from:1914 till:1920 text:Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association bar:2 color:powderblue from:1920 till:1923 text:None bar:3 color:SWC from:1923 till:1996 text:Southwest Conference bar:4 color:WAC from:1996 till:2001 text:Western Athletic Conference bar:5 color:CUSA from:2001 till:2005 text:Conference USA bar:6 color:MWC from:2005 till:2012 text:Mountain West bar:7 color:B12 from:2012 till:end text:Big 12 ScaleMajor = gridcolor:line unit:year increment:5 start:1915 TextData = fontsize:L textcolor:black pos:(300,25) # tabs:(0-center) text:"TCU Conference Membership History" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TCU Horned Frogs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
