[QUOTE="froginaustin, post: 2625504, member: 785"] I generally agree with BigRed with 1 major exception and 1 minor detail. Major: Billy Tohill had many qualities that kept him from being a success as a head coach. "Lazy" was definitely not among his several negatives. Minor: Tuition at state schools in Texas, in the mid-1960's, was $50 a semester for full time students. But point taken-- kids could attend UTx or some other state school for basically room, board, and books (and Austin was a cheap place to live in those years, unlike today), and in huge numbers kids did just that. About the mid-60's, governing bodies of state colleges in Texas figured out that various fees could be charged to students. Tuition by other names. But still the difference in cost was so dramatic that TCU students were teased about being "rich", whether they were or not. [/QUOTE]
