Athletic director, Del Conte, deserves praise

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.

Who needs to man up this week? The Miami Heat.

The Heat have gotten off to a slow start this year and have lost four of their last six games. This is a team that had huge expectations coming into the season after adding two superstars, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, to compliment Dwayne Wade.

So who is to blame for this unexplainable start? Sure you can blame their head coach, Erik Spoelstra, but if you have three superstars playing on the same team, it shouldn't matter who the coach is.

The Magic Pill?

They're called "smart drugs," "study drugs," or "brain steroids," drugs like Adderall and Ritalin that are prescribed for treatment of attention-deficit disorder. ADD is a legitimate disorder, but the drugs are increasingly being used illegally by college students to try and help them gain an edge in school.

Some undergraduate students at TCU admit to using the medications to stay up all night, increase their focus, and gain an academic edge.
