I need something clarified. We here at gmg.com pretty much universally hate SMU. I get that part, and can see why.

Why, then, does TCU seem to get a free pass? Isn't it another private school for the German car driving set? Are my perceptions wrong? I have nothing inherently against TCU at all. I'm just perplexed as to why one area private school is comprised of a student "douche" body and the other one is a team we root for.

TCU is the sibling you can tolerate. Smut is the spoiled brat.

Also they don't claim to better than they are, they are consistanlty good, and prove it on the field, and I respect what they do. Although, they won't ever schedule us again. "They are too good to bother." I guess that didn't answer your question, but I can't seem to hate them, smut is easy, older alumni can tell you conspiracy theory stories.

A few years ago, what was then called CSTV offered an incredible contract to MWC. They were going to get a huge, potential income stream and the start up CSTV was going to get nearly exclusive coverage of MWC games around which to build their fledgeling network. Things have not quite worked out as well as both parties hoped, but what is now CBSCS (CBS College Sports) is growing steadily in both cable coverage and ratings. The first year CSTV had the rights to MWC games, CSTV was still not available in Salt Lake City or San Diego. Battles between cable companies and cable networks over right payments are now a staple of the business. It's like getting NFL TV in a Time Warner area.

Little if any coverage in the DFW area so I don't see how this lack of exposure for TCU helps them much when trying to gain a better BCS poll position or show off to recruits. Maybe TCU received some revenue from the initial contract but it doesn't seem the cable companies here are being sold on SBCCS yet.

Go take a drive to Ft. Worth and check out a TCU game...asked and answered

      Of course he's open to HS players in future cycles. Pitino knows things change on a yearly basis. It's just disingenuous of you to say "Auburn is No 1 and recruits HS kids" when their number 1 ranking has very little to do with recruiting HS kids. When I look at the top teams in the country, most are led by at least one transfer. Duke is an exception but they have the number 1 prospect in the country. If you want to argue that in theory a team led by mostly guys recruited from HS could be number 1 in the country then sure. Duke could win it all this year with the number 1 NBA prospect. For everybody else who isn't getting the top NBA prospect out of HS, all data points to the transfer portal as being the best way to build a team.

      Thinking about the Super Pit....

      Seats aren’t going to be removed because the university needs it for graduation and they own the bldg. The east side entrance mall needs to be “dressed up” with string lights, lights in trees, vendors, food, music, refreshments, etc. on game days. The concourse needs to be livened up. Pop up bars, store similar to the one at DATCU that can be accessed from inside the SP and outside, information on the MGSF, music, monitors showing the game when in line for concessions, more efficient concessions, etc.

      And they aren't ruling out HS studs to fill some of those future voids. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/252088/sebastian-williams-adams I'm not saying the current climate doesn't favor transfers - it does. I just believe you look everywhere for the players that best serve your purpose. If there's a guy out there coming out of HS that fits a need perfectly, sign him. And our stud transfers are leaving, too, if not graduating. So, either way, you're getting 1-2 years of contribution. majority college coaches are still recruiting HS players. Even the Pitino stuff doesn't read like he's completely closed the door. Lots of "this cycle" and "this year" when looking at the entirety of those articles/quotes, like he's potentially open to HS players in future cycles.
