Seems appropriate given how good their team is. Ranked power conference teams going on the road to play in a H.S. gym. Should be interesting....

TCU has been kind of a nightmare for the Big XII. At least from a competitive standpoint.

Even IUPUI is moving out of the Jungle (which is for all intents and purpose a HS caliber gym) for a redone Pepsi Coliseum at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

They gave everyone in the conference two extra wins last year, which actually collectively boosted their profiles. One doormat in a ten team league is fine so long as no one slips and falls on the doormat, especially if they managed at least a few OOC wins.

This program seems to be up and coming, I am glad they will have their own gym out by the fairgrounds. You say "redone Pepsi Coliseum", what are they using that arena for right now? Minor League hockey?

They were supposed to be good in football, though. They have not been good.

KU did lose a basketball game down there two years ago. That was amusing.

I forgot about that. I think that may be TCU's only Big Twelve win. They may have a few more, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

I think they're 2-34.

At least they will be playing in a gym that is bigger than half of the A10's gyms even though its a High School facility.

Concerts, A new Minor League Hockey Team, and IUPUI Basketball. They dumped a ton of money into it. I think it just reopened this week...

Here's a link to the renovations (link (http://www.indystar.com/story/life/2014/04/24/state-fair-coliseum-reopening-like-taj-mahal/8105647/))

They appeared to be slightly more up and coming before Ron Hunter left. Now, they just appear to suck.
