Does football drive the bus as some have said? Yes. Has TCU obtained more bang for the buck with athletics than other universities? Yes. At the same time, it would be wise in the long-term for TCU to develop more sources of revenue as well as pursue increasing existing streams of revenue in addition to football. What happens if the bus runs out of gas, gets driven into a ditch, or get hit head-on by a cement mixer?
