Good points. But what is the "one more big single donor to baseball" needed for. Thought we were well equipped there.
In another thread there was a discussion that a nearly redone TCU baseball stadium could be a TCU athletics revenue producer if they added more luxury options in a new stadium. There was discussion of leaving the last two additions out there, one being the new coaches offices, training rooms, locker, etc and the other building that would stay was the new $7 million dollar batting cage and redoing every else that was left. Basically creating one or two club areas down the 1st and 3rd base sides where you pay a higher price for that club feel at a TCU baseball game and one could buy mixed drinks because it is a club. Make it very similar to the new one at the basketball stadium which is great. That whole thread was BEFORE the baseball 'season of hell' happened this year, praise Jesus for the win last night against Texas Tech. Schloss will get it fixed, but enthusiasm to support a project of that scale, which I thought one marquee donor who loves TCU baseball could make the key lead gift, instead of trying to find 200 people like we've needed to fund the current east side football expansion was my point. I think if we get our baseball mojo back next year with further player development, graduation of some ineffective current seniors, the recruiting class that is coming, and asking some under performing underclassman to bolt, then maybe two years removed from this awful season during there 2020 season, if we are elite again, TCU athletics should start kicking the tires to see if there is interest in making that upgraded baseball stadium project happen. That could be one final project we could get done before the looming 2024 conference decision. The goal of all these things is to make sure everyone out there that may have input if either the Big 12 stays together, which I think it will, or if we have to find a new Power 5 home is that TCU is one of the shiniest trophies for a new conference to covet. It is an arms race, and TCU is competing hard here. A national championship by Coach P this year is another way to end any talks of TCU returning to Group of 5 status. I think Coach P knows he has all the pieces to do it this season and we play 10 of our 12 games in Texas this year with OU, Okie State, and Ohio State all breaking in a new quarterbacks who will be running for their lives from Blacklock, Banago, Summers, and Innis Gaines. I hope we blitz more this year. Go Frogs!
