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 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.

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.

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. |

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

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