[QUOTE="Deep Purple, post: 2398781, member: 17"] This. What the JerryWorld game apologists overlook is that college football is not "just a business" like pro football. The majority of the paying crowds in college football are not just customers, they are [I]constituents[/I]. They have some personal attachment to TCU, whether as alumni, or relatives of alumni, or some other personal attachment. If you treat them strictly as customers, you break faith with their constituency and encourage them make ticket-buying decisions purely on economics or any number of considerations other than loyalty to TCU. You get what you dish out. I don't think that's what TCU really wants. Our fan base is far too small to operate on that model. We absolutely need fan loyalty to survive. And you don't get fan loyalty by treating TCU constituents as just business-model "ticket-buying units." [/QUOTE]
Verification
Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
