I get that and that is a benefit. I do think that having 'Christian' in your colleges name is going to turn off a decent amount of recruits.

I bet quite a few don't know what TCU stands for. AT any rate, I'm guessing if it is an issue, TCU wouldn't want them anyhow.

Because there's so many Jewish football players?

Counting above 5 isn't a strength of his.
wow, you're a little punk ass bitch today

Try not and be so angry.

Maybe you'll pick up some friends along the way

Because Turner Gill's done such a fine job of getting top shelf talent.

Baylor's been awful forever. BYU can't seem to sustain success. Even Notre Dame is struggling, though I would imagine that's due to academic standards more than anything.

I'm not saying it's a lock that the religious angle drives recruits away, but I've always though it was an interesting question. Some recruits, kids like Brad Smith and RGIII (and of course Tebow) are pretty up front about their religion, but I think a lot more are going to just shy away from it being put in front of them like that.

Think of it this way - how many 'regional' Universities are considered to be terribly prestigious? Not many, that's largely what fueled SMS to change its name to Missouri State. It's not a perfect analogue, but its similar - there's something to a school's name. Even if its only subconsciously, I do believe there are some good recruits that would pass on TCU because of the religious affiliation.

They'll be a very interesting case study.

Is this when you'll remind us all of the fabled Wickedson 21?

Besides, I said nice things about Pants and Saulbadguy and they get to sit at a much cooler table than you do, so blow me.

comparatively, it's kind of pathetic considering missouri's population is nealry double that of kansas, and the issue of 2 BCS schools instead of one.
By comparison to other states its size Missouri should have all kinds of conference titles, national titles, final fours, bcs games, hall of famers, etc etc

except they have pretty much none of that.

I've been studying the phenomenon for nearly 30 years now and can't figure it out.

It's actually quite impressive.

in other news, water is wet.

recruits also pass on schools like KSU because of location. recruits pass on schools like Wisconsin because of weather.

Just because I am a christian doesn't mean I want to go to a religious college....

Or ridiculous honor codes that necessitates expelling a student for perfectly natural human behavior right before a national tournament.

That isn't fair, they still let Ell Roberson play in that game.
