Big East commissioner John Marinatto ventured out into the madness of Black Friday in Providence, R.I., in search of only one item: a purple tie.
Marinatto was unable to secure the coveted tie, but he got an even better present on Monday -- a new football member for the Big East.
TCU and the Big East announced Monday afternoon that the Horned Frogs would be joining the league for the 2012-13 school year.
When arriving in Fort Worth, Texas, TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte provided Marinatto with a purple and black tie -- and an even sharper looking football program.
Now that Marinatto has dressed up his league with a ninth football member, what's next?
"Our goal is to get to 10 (teams)," Marinatto told FanHouse. "That's what we said following our presidents meeting in November. Obviously there are circumstances that could change that -- if Penn State called tomorrow and said they wanted to join, we'd say yes and do it."
