[QUOTE="geezer, post: 3015537, member: 71765"] As a retired military officer, I'm really skeptical that this is the reason. Wasn't a big deal to be a freshman to all the grizzled Viet Nam vets I attended TCU with; doubt it chafes the ass of many current vets. A more reasonable explanation is that many high schools around the country (including every high school ISD where I live) now offer programs that allow HS students to accumulate up to two year's worth of college credit while still in high school. (Not uncommon for a student to walk the stage and receive both their HS degree and an Associate's Degree.) The last student I personally recruited to attend TCU was such a person. She graduated with 2 year's worth of college credit, and it really irritated her that while she essentially entered TCU as a "Junior" hours-wise, she was labeled a freshman. [/QUOTE]

Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
