absolutely agree that without football and the SWC TCU would not be a major university. The Disciples of Christ denomination could not support the school nearly as much as Baptists did Baylor or the Methodists did SMU. The last time I checked the annual contriubtion of the DoC to TCU was about 100 grand, maybe enough to pay the light bill for a week?
Some think chemistry is overstated but maybe not.......for whatever reason this team seems to have it......we haven't topped out yet.
Thank you for your service, seriously.
Yes. They probably discuss how great they are, which schools will get them the
I caught that same interview. Yeah, he's sharp. That show is a good one. Brock Huard and Ben Hartsock usually anchor/cohost that and almost every other day it seems they have a well known sports journalist helping cohost. Full Ride comes on before that and Packer's show comes on after. So it is 3 solid shows in a row.
We had the chance to sit in a suite with a NFL player near the end of his career. This was about 9 years ago. He said that the vast majority of kids need to focus on what school they want to attend and graduate from, because they are not going pro. He said the amount of kids who think they are just seems to grow each year. Guy had a nice career and he was shocked when he made it to the NFL. He said the difference between even the Alabamas/Ohio States and the NFL is bigger than even the top draft picks can imagine.
Completely agree. Thank you!
Now, we have what amounts to semi-payed athletics. (guess that depends on your popularity with some semi-paid athletes making seven figures) Some will argue that makes them an employee of the schools 'NIL Business Dept. and not under the same umbrellas' as a paid student. TCU has been slow in addressing problems of athlete vs paid student. This could get real interesting in the coming months. Remember, TCU gets vast support from alumni and corporations' for being a player in athletics. It certainly is a fine line. UT for instance has to me, made its choice will go with what-ever-it takes to win (for the sake of money). Wonder what their thoughts are for semi-paid athletes and required attendance and grades. Maybe like many schools if your an athlete, sign up for archery, sewing etc and don't worry about classes, and get a faux degree, just play football and win.
Yes and by tomorrow then dream comes back. In short I don't want to hear that now, maybe I'll think about it when I'm 31.
I think that is a worry most have had for the past few years. The NIL issue just sent it out. Gotta wonder if the FCS division will just get more attention for having "real student athletes".
We make kids go to class versus most of our peers that let kids take correspondence or online classes. Hell some kids at ut and Aggie never even set foot in a classroom.
It's almost like...*checks notes*... pretty much every other adult in the working class.
WTH ?#?%?$?&?
What a stupid remark, Relic ... why athletes(more than other students)... considering how much required of their non classroom/study time.
