TCU didn't grow their fan base overnight. Give it time. Going to the Big East will help a lot as well.

TCU's attendance also didn't retreat AFTER they turned the program around

Actually it did. It was very much a case of two steps forward and one step back
1998 - 27,181
1999 - 26,290
2000 - 32,624
2001 - 28,972

Those numbers look like they could have been fairly level with the up/down/up/down dictated by home schedule.

Nice honesty barrister! We will finally have $ to have a marketing group for attendance attention....but do NOT expect miracles in Dallas.

I agree with Barrister...up until about 5 years ago I was almost always disappointed with our home attendance despite all of the wins. It basically took 5+ years of winning 8-10 games per season before we grew our base. And not having regional conference mates affects small private schools a heck of a lot more than larger state schools.
