[QUOTE="This Ain't Chopped Liver, post: 3029465, member: 74137"] TCU really benefits with a nationally visible winning sports program as a front porch, but it has always been a mountainous task to compete in football against flagship universities. TCU would have been wise in 2012 to recognize we got lucky with Patterson in the short term as it got us national visibility, grew the university... but now what? TCU needed to recognize basketball may be the longterm ticket for national visibility - certainly could not bank on getting lucky with another football coach. Should have razed Daniel Meyer and built the swankiest new basketball arena and practice gym to lure a coach and recruits, and bring enthusiasm to alumni and students. The inevitable conference realignment and now NIL just punctuate the need for basketball. NIL deals for 15 basketball players is easy enough, and can be done as a team - each player the same deal. TCU can compete and be on equal footings with all. Think Duke, Gonzaga and now Baylor. [/QUOTE]
Verification
