Combine should give Cowboys good look at potential recruits

Published Mar 1, 2011

As the NFL combine wrapped up yesterday, the Dallas Cowboys should have a significantly better outlook on the upcoming draft. More importantly, one TCU player would make a great fit in the Dallas clubhouse.

The Cowboys have the No. 9 pick in the draft and should theoretically pick one of the top 10 players available. Granted, no TCU players will make a top 10 draft pick, but there are a number of needs that Dallas has that can be solved with a wisely selected top 10 pick.

A very likely pick of the Cowboys will be Nebraska cornerback Prince Amukamara.

Published Feb 28, 2011

School administrators and a group of 24 students are in Austin today to talk to the state legislature about the importance of the Texas Equalization Grant to private university students.

Director of Scholarships and Financial Aid Mike Scott said the current state budget would cut the program's funding by 41 percent, limit the grant only to renewals and would not grant any assistance to incoming students for the 2011-12 school year.
