[QUOTE="PurplFrawg, post: 3051933, member: 223"] FWIW, I was in the same mindset. I loved playing in the band, and we worked our asses off to give a good show as representatives of our university. We were truly the "Show Window of TCU." When Prof Jacobsen started in the late 50s, he told us that his band budget was less than the football program spent on adhesive tape. He got around the poor budget by networking with high school directors, finding us places to stay when we were playing away games. So we spent Friday and sometimes Saturday nights in small town Texas households, being ambassadors for TCU. It was fun, and an honor. But like you say, now they have to pay college kids to show up.

Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
