Athletic director, Del Conte, deserves praise

Published Dec 1, 2010

It's easy to praise an athletic director when times are good. Chris Del Conte arrived at TCU just a couple months before the football team went to its first BCS bowl, and about a month after that the baseball team began a season that ended in Omaha.

Times were good.

And now, about 13 months after Del Conte's arrival, times have legitimately never looked better for TCU athletics. And Del Conte is to thank for that.

Diversified assets

TCU has come a long way since it first opened the doors to its new Fort Worth campus in 1911. Then a fledgling campus of 500 students in the segregated south, diversity really wasn't a question.

But times and people have changed and the expectation for equality is something that every institution has to answer to. So how does the university measure up? It depends on how you measure success.
