TCU introduces new AD Mike Buddie, looking to build on program’s ‘upward trajectory’​

By SportsDay Staff



A week after announcing the hiring, TCU hosted an introductory press conference for new athletic director Mike Buddie on Monday afternoon.

“Institutions that just want to recruit young men and women who want the biggest price tag are going to have challenges,” Buddie said. “What I love about TCU is the value proposition extends so much farther beyond a price tag. We want to recruit and find young people who still want to have an education, who are willing to be held accountable, want to have a degree that’s going to change their lives for the next 60 years, not just take that highest dollar amount paycheck.

“We’re going to compete at the highest levels of revenue sharing, but we still want to find kids who care, kids who want to be good teammates, active members of our community, and great character kids.”

Make note that neither the FWST nor its two TCU beat writers attended the press conference introducing the new AD. The DMN and two local media organizations did.

Muck face was probably too busy figuring out how he’s going to pen a column [ Finebaum ]ting on the new guy. My guess is damning with faint praise.

My expectations of the Startlegram are zero. Buddie, on the other hand, is a very impressive guy.

Glad DMN sent a staffer. But what weak writing. I mean, a high school beginner j-student could've written that lede.

Probably ran it through AI and got that.
