TCU is going to be thankful they got this east side football addition over the finish line. I think nationally with athletic donations being neutralized as a tax deduction by the new federal tax code with the associated the new lower tax brackets it is going to be harder for institutions to get people to open their wallets like they used to for capital athletic projects. A key effort to watch as an example is the $300 million KU project. They just canned their AD and Lawrence is on the Bret Beilema watch and he ain't going to be cheap and that money doesn't go to facilities. I'm sure Schloss negotiated for more TCU baseball facilities during that whole I'm leaving for Miss State fiasco. So look for that stadium project next.
With exception of maybe your blue bloods / large state schools / Notre Dame, TCU, and maybe Miami if they stay hot, look for some schools to stop participating in the athletics building arms race like we've seen over the previous 10 years. I can't see schools like Indiana, Rutgers Wash State, BC, Baylor, Wake, Duke, Colorado, Oregon State, among others keeping up this next round. There are more. I think I read Washington State was in the worst financial standing of all Power 5 schools.
