I ask because almost every private school in this country started out as religious (most were Methodist that are now secular.) Many of them still keep a theology department, though, or at least have course offerings out of the philosophy department. Are TCU and Baylor anywhere near that point? Locally, Belmont recently gave up their Baptist affiliation, and that is when that started growing in every possible way as a university because it opened up other people/donors, whether Christian or not, who never felt ownership in the school because they were not Baptist.

No school should ever change their essence for what outsiders think or feel, but if either school is heading in that direction, it is not a bad idea to compartmentalize the religious aspect to academic study only and change the charter to a secular approach. TCU and Baylor hit many of the qualifications that the PAC would look for in a school; it is just the religious component that seems to be the major issue.
The PAC has limited options now. Take at least four Big XII schools, go to sixteen, and form a Mountain Division.
