Agree to disagree then, and until someone shows me numbers, I don't believe we out draw Tech. Tech has more alumni in DFW than we do in the world. Yeah, larger alumni base an all that, but they put more eyes on TVs in DFW than we do based purely on the face more of those eyes exist for them than they do us. They've not been good for a while, but they still have a very loyal audience. You really think there are more people watching TCU games than Tech games? The math just doesn't add up.
And the Pac thing was done, just needed the signatures. That's also based on boosters and people "in the know". My wife is a 3rd generation Tech grad, and her dad's best friend is on the Board of Directors, and was when all that went down. I heard it from his mouth.
I'm not going to get into the academics. Sure they're not UT or OU, but they're just fine. Getting their vet school in Amarillo was a really big deal. They stood down aggy and got it done, and their getting close to Tier 1.
My point in all of this is I love TCU as much as any of us, but we're just not the national or even state brand a lot of think we are. That's not me comparing it to any other school, that just saying it based on us alone.
