One good thing is that the coaching situation at both TCU and SMU appears very stable.
Is SMU at the point of having one or two SRO games in 2010?
A lot of people want to be part of a special event, like TCU's Gameday. Hopefully many of them come back for the Nov 28th game against winless New Mexico, or attend SMU's game against hapless Tulane.
Another test will come next year when season tickets are tallied.

With the kind of winning seasons he has coached TCU to, if Patterson stays at TCU after this season, he should demand the same kind of money that June Jones makes.

Who's to say he ain't making it already...

Yeah I thought TCU already bumped him up to that level. They may have to add another million now

Thought he was in the $800K - $1 million range.

TCU paid him $1,643,071 in 2008.
