with the question of whether TCU would be able to help GENERATE revenue for the REST of the conference -- and that is the only thing that is important in these discussions. The rest of the Big 12 couldn't care less whether TCU's donors refurbish Amon Carter Stadium. What they want is a school that will help the conference sell more ads and increase attendance at stadiums. You can cough any numbers you want about the program having large donors, and that doesn't tell me a thing about why that would make the Big 12 want them.
