    What are the chances of an ol' MWC battle:

    BYU vs TCU to fill in for the lost game 2020..?

    Everything seems to be on hold until our conference make up its mind on conference only, conference plus 1, or what ever.

  2. A lot of these schools and conferences that are cancelling their fall season are ones that do not have the resources to test continually throughout the season.  Those that do have resources and the testing equipment should be able to navigate through the fall, and obviously you wouldn't want to play a school that does not have the same protocol as you.

    Completely worthless fact of the day:

    if one wanted to invest enough at the time of the school's most recent national championship in football to finance a complete 4-year education at UT Austin today, that person would have needed to set aside $51,280.

    At OU - $18,164

    At Texas A&M: $33.72

    Sadly, that $33.72 today would probably be about the value of an aggy-level education.

     

     

    A value of $33.72?  That much?

    Stunned I tell you, stunned.  Who would have ever thought the Aggies would cheat in football?   By the way, are they the National Champs at cheating?  If so, maybe they can put that on their wall.

     

    Hmmm, receiving their 8th(?) NCAA sanctions may indeed put them at the top.  EDIT- Looked it up. They move from tied for fourth most penalized to tied for third most penalized. Plus they are now one of the five most penalized teams.

    Well by the time Jimbo's contract is up, they'll be in the lead.

  6. I had not driven close by the stadium since last fall, so I went yesterday.  It is just as ugly as the pictures look maybe worse.  The side by Texas Live looks okay, but the rest of it is hideous.  What were they thinking, and who signed off on this monstrosity?  The "old" stadium is 1000 times better looking.

    My source said they were saying they had 30%+  budget shortfall. I'm a little surprised, they were on my daughters final three so I went along to an on campus honor college get together just a few months ago. They specifically mentioned how they had such a strong endowment, something big changed.

    That I haven't heard.  They do have a sizable endowment, but it too was probably affected by the oil prices and the stock market.  TCU was in the middle of a billion dollar campaign when this hit.  Unless things turn around quickly it will be difficult to reach to the goal.  They are about 2/3rds there.  A crumbling economy is going to hurt all colleges in the near term.  They better get ready.

    A distant associate of mine that does some associate prof work at TCU is telling me they just cut everyones retirement contributions by 50%. According to him, It is temporary for the Administration, permanent for the faculty and staff. 

    What they did is cut the TCU contribution from 11% of your salary per year to 8% per year.
