We’ve tried to do it the right way. We’ve tried to do it so the university was happy with the way we did it so we could build it for a long time.” Of the four schools cast aside when the Southwest Conference splintered in the mid-1990s, TCU has traveled the longest, most winding path — from the 16-te
