TCU's swimming and diving teams rewrote the TCU record books on the first day of action at the 2011 Mountain West Conference Swimming and Diving Championships inside the Oklahoma City Community College Aquatics Center. The men's team is currently in fourth place overall, while BYU leads the pack. The women's team is holding at fifth place, while San Diego State is currently in first on the women's side.

While many students struggle to find jobs, seniors in the university's ROTC program know exactly what they'll be doing after graduation.

There are a lot of reasons to believe that the Dallas Mavericks are NBA contenders.

The offense is completely operating with no hiccups. In the past month, the Mavericks have scored fewer than 100 points only twice. Over the course of those 30 days, Dallas has averaged 104 points a game and has gone 13-1.

A bill in the Texas House would allow students with a concealed carry license to carry guns on public college campuses.

While gun carriers must be 21 or older and undergo training on the proper handling of a gun, allowing students carrying concealed handguns to wander public campuses is a dangerous idea.

Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Don Mills said he didn't support the bill because it could create confusion for police reacting to a violent situation.

Frogs' junior Brooke Beeler shot a school record 7-under-par 65 and holds the individual lead, while TCU is in fourth place after Monday's opening two rounds of the Central District Invitational.

Beeler's opening-round 65 broke the previous TCU mark of 66, set by current Frogs' senior Prisela Campbell at the 2009 LSU Golf Classic. Beeler flirted with the record in November when she carded an opening-round 67 en route to medalist honors at the Alamo Invitational.

With a 6-under 138, Beeler has a three-stroke lead over LSU freshman Austin Ernst entering today's final round.
