    OT: How The Art Of Persuasion Saved The TCU Horned Frogs

    I also liked the TCU's AD approach to fundraising...... “I’m not a big fan of what some fundraisers call cultivation,” reveals Del Conte. “To me, if someone has the ability to give you $15 million, they’re by default an incredibly successful individual. Which is why when I approach them, I...

    OT: How The Art Of Persuasion Saved The TCU Horned Frogs

    Great article! Very interesting how the TCU AD went to Austin unannounced and spoke with the Texas AD, whom he did not know. That is yet another example of how Texas runs the Big 12. I can't imagine a university doing this to try and join the B1G. At the minimum, their would have to be a...

    Michigan State used to sponsor men's lacrosse from 1970-1996, when it was cut due to Title IX. It then became a Division 1 club sport.

    B1G 2014-2015 All-Sport Championship Breakdown

    The numbers are correct. The B1G gives championships in some sports for BOTH regular season and tournaments. I'm pretty sure all conferences do that. Here is the B1G website listing the championships - http://www.bigten.org/championships/2015-schedule.html If, for example, Illinois gets...

    B1G 2014-2015 All-Sport Championship Breakdown

    Maryland is a great example of a school that is either at the top of the standings at what its good at or isn't in the conversation at all. On the point total, Maryland finished 11th out of 14. Not very impressive at all. On the flip side, Maryland won 7 B1G Championships which was more than...

    B1G 2014-2015 All-Sport Championship Breakdown

    I just did a point tally for the Men's Sports (Women's to follow). Points awarded on finish in conference standings. If all 14 teams played the sport, the champion received 14 points and the last place team received 1 point. If only 6 teams played, the champion received six points, last place...

    Two B1G teams in NCAA Lacrosse Final four !

    I wouldn't be surprised if Northwestern adds men's lacrosse. The women's team is a national title contender most years. Also, Northwestern might geographically be outside Chicago, but it has an East Coast vibe to it. Many students at Northwestern come from the East Coast and went to high...

    NB hotels nearly all booked for OSU

    OSU travels just fine. Rutgers will be overwhelmed with Buckeyes on the field and in the stadium. By the way, watch a replay of the National Championship game and compare the OSU crowd to the Oregon crowd. It's like 80% Buckeye fans.
