When you get built up from the pits by an all time great coach along with furious investment, you start to get an ego that you’re above rivalries, above culture, above former players, above the fans, above everybody. You can do no wrong! This season, it’s getting deconstructed.
@DLLS_TCU@BudElliott3@Cover3Podcast Your periodic reminder that a settlement is just that, a settlement. A mutual agreement to resolve a dispute. It is not a reliable indicator of what would have happened if the litigation had gone forward.

@BudElliott3 Alternatively, no one wants to risk what schools’ hometown judges say the law is, regardless of what everyone agreed the law was at the time things were signed (see every other conference realignment lawsuit in the history of time and why billable hours are always undefeated).
TCU’s trajectory as a program is 10x more alarming when you consider that recent realignment is likely just the tip of the iceberg and plenty of programs are likely never fully clawing their way back.
