They are floating in cash. Our football budget is $14 million while TCU's is around $35 Million. And some say we should not increase our budget in order to catch up... :evil:


You're the one that said we have plenty of money...


We do, it's just being spent in other parts of the school that don't bring any money: Tennis center, natatorium, golf training course...not on IPF, Strength and Conditioning, Physical therapy...things that benefit the entire student athlete community and are not just sunk costs like the ones I mentioned before.

Tennis was part of the costs associated with the Bush Library, that had to be done. Natatorium? No money being spent there so far as I can tell. The golf course was a great joint venture with a lot of other organizations.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Regarding tennis being part of Bush library. ..does that mean some of the fundraising $ raised by the Bush foundation is paying for the new tennis digs?

Uh oh, my ad is for prostrate cancer treatment.

Well, here's a good factoid for ya. TCU is pimping $1 tickets for its Saturday game against WVU. SMU's game is sold out at premium prices.

Yup. Priorities are not totally logical. It wouldn't surprise me if they build the damn tennis center this year then rip it down in 2016 and put the IPF there.
