2010-11 tcu annual report
DESCRIPTION
The 2010-11 TCU Annual Report features a year-in-review of the TCU Athletics Department.TRANSCRIPT
Dear Horned Frog Fans:The 2010-11 TCU athletics season is one that provided us a memory of a lifetime. It wasn’t
just our Rose Bowl champion football program but also the incredible support we received from an unbelievable alumni and fan base.
Thanks to you, our supporters, season-ticket holders, alumni, students, faculty, staff and fans, it was a record-breaking year on so many levels for us off the field.
The incredible support of Chancellor Victor Boschini and a tremendous Board of Trustees, as well as the unbelievable efforts of TCU associate athletics director Davis Babb, our Frog Club staff, football coach Gary Patterson and others allowed us to generate the necessary funds for the renovation of Amon G. Carter Stadium. At press time, we had raised $143 million from 95 donors, surpassing our original goal of $105 million.
Our Frog Club exceeded $5 million in donations and 5,000 members for the first time. We became just the second non-automatic qualifying school to top $1 million in licensing rev-enues. We broke season ticket and attendance figures in foot-ball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, tennis and track and field.
Through the leadership of Fort Worth Mayor Mike Mon-crief, Fridays in our city became Go Purple Fridays! The city became painted in purple. It was cool and fashionable to fol-low the Horned Frogs.
Quite simply, you enabled us to succeed, and we thank you for that.In front of the largest television audience in ESPN and cable TV history, excluding the NFL,
our football program captivated the nation with its dramatic Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin. It was an incredible stage to be on, and our student-athletes came through with a performance that made the TCU community proud.
On Nov. 13, we said goodbye to an old friend as the final game was played in Amon G. Carter Stadium as we knew it. A few weeks later, on Dec. 5, we became the first team in the history of college football to implode its stadium and accept a Rose Bowl invitation on the same day.
In addition to football, we won conference titles in baseball and women’s golf. Overall, it was another successful year for our athletics program. Twelve of our 20 sports were repre-sented in postseason play with 11 teams nationally ranked. Among our many All-Americans, we had a national award winner in football’s Jake Kirkpatrick, who captured the Rimington Trophy as the best center in the country.
The postseason honors extended to our terrific coaching staff. Karen Monez was selected as the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association Coach of the Year, giving us three National Coach of the Year awards in the last two seasons.
In addition to Amon G. Carter Stadium’s renovation, other facility improvements included a new weight room and the upper deck expansion of Lupton Stadium.
Academically, our student-athletes continued to shine in the classroom and represent us well in the campus community. Our cumulative grade-point average was just under a 3.0 with four student-athletes graduating Phi Beta Kappa.
The past year also saw us set our course for the future with the announcement that we ac-cepted an invitation to join the BIG EAST Conference in all sports effective with the 2012-13 campaign.
We hope you enjoy this year’s Annual Report as it summarizes a memorable and historic year for us, while also providing a look ahead to the future.
Go Frogs!

TCU and Nike, the world’s most recognizable symbol in athletic apparel, have become synonymous with each other. TCU is one of just five schools to be involved in Nike’s Pro Combat Uniform series each of the last two seasons and one of just 12 programs to be chosen by Nike for its product testing. In 2011, the Horned Frogs will be adding to their game-day attire options with a new helmet and set of uniforms. Nike was instrumental in over $20 million in retail TCU merchandise sold worldwide over the last year, providing a record $1 million in licensing revenues.
Nike
Live Chats & Social MediaTCU introduced a series of live chats to GoFrogs.com, providing fans worldwide with the opportunity to have their questions answered directly by Horned Frog student-athletes, coaches and administrators.

Go PurpleFridays If it was Friday of game week and you wore your purple at participating retailers around Tarrant County, good things happened. Countless TCU Sports Network partner retailers got into the act with discount offers for fans showing their purple pride on Fridays. Making purple reign definitely has its benefits.
DFW billboard campaignThe official football season t-shirt was introduced that generated funds back to the Mayor’s charity of choice. We raised over $13,000 for Directions Home selling close to 7,000 t-shirts. The shirts were priced at $10, an affordable opportunity for everyone to participate.

NFL DraftThe Horned Frogs had five players drafted for the sec-ond time in three seasons. Quarterback Andy Dalton was the 35th-overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals, be-coming the highest selection from TCU on the offensive side of the ball since tailback LaDainian Tomlinson was drafted fifth overall by the San Diego Chargers in 2001. Offensive tackle Marcus Can-non (Fifth round, New England Patriots), wide receiver Jeremy Kerley (Fifth round, New York Jets), safety Colin Jones (Sixth round, San Francisco 49ers) and cornerback Malcolm Williams (Seventh round, New England Patriots) rounded out the 2011 NFL Draft class. The five picks tie for the second most under head coach Gary Patterson. Twenty former Horned Frogs worked out for NFL scouts, coaches and general managers as part of Friday’s TCU Pro Day. A total of 26 NFL teams were represented by various coaches, scouts and front office personnel. San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh was among those present.
TCU’s Rose Bowl appearance and championship brought unprecedent-ed national exposure to the Horned Frog football program. The 21-19 victory over Wisconsin delivered an 11.7 television rating. At the time, it was the highest overnight rating, excluding the NFL, in history for ESPN and all of cable television. For the second straight year, ESPN’s College GameDay made two appearances at Horned Frog football games. TCU was prominent across all national media, including quarterback Andy Dalton being the first Horned Frog since 1962 to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Super Bowl HostTCU served as the practice site for the AFC champion Pittsburgh Steel-ers in their preparation for Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. The Steelers utilized the Horned Frogs’ football facilities, while the floor of Daniel-Meyer Coli-seum was the site of team news con-ferences and media availabilities.

HORNED FROG PRIORITY POINTS SYSTEMThe Horned Frog Priority Points System was approved by the Athletics Committee of TCU’s Board of Trustees and the TCU Frog Club Board of Directors on June 1, 2006. The Horned Frog Priority Points System provides season-ticket holders, donors and Frog Club members with a transparent process for distributing high-demand tickets for TCU athletics events. All donors and season-ticket holders are assigned points based on several criteria, including annual Frog Club contributions, capital project gifts, cumulative athletic giving and season-ticket loyalty. The system has been used in recent years to allocate tickets to the Rose Bowl and Fiesta Bowl as well as the baseball team’s postseason appearances, including the 2010 College World Series. The Horned Frog Priority Points System will be utilized for the 2012 football season when Amon G. Carter Stadium’s renovation is completed. Over 20,000 Frog fans have accounts. Frog Club members are encouraged to access their account at www.tcufrogclub.com to check their points and rank.

LETTERMEN’S ASSOCIATION“A Common Bond ...The Tradition Continues,” that’s the mantra of the TCU Lettermen’s Association. More
than just former student-athletes getting together to talk about times past, we are 20 sports strong with
an active membership that gives back to its university. In 2010, the organization again surpassed the
unprecedented milestone of 1,000 active members and has raised an all-time high of more than $110,000
in just membership dues alone. Our members have also given to capital campaigns, stadium improvement
projects, athletic scholarship endowments, club seat deposits and made gifts to other departments on
campus. As other universities are struggling to have their former student-athletes give back, the TCU
Lettermen’s Association sets the bar.
36 2010-11 TCU ATHLETICS ANNUAL REPORT
• Inducted five Horned Frogs into the Lettermen’s Hall of Fame in September 2010: Royce Huffman ’00, Aaron Schobel ’00, Reggie Smith ’92, Angela Stanford ’00, Bobby Tyler ‘60. The group was also honored at halftime of the Baylor game.
• Continued to award more than $60,000 in scholarship assistance to the children of current dues-paying lettermen members through the Dutch Meyer Scholarship.
• More than 600 former football players, athletic trainers, managers and coaches said farewell to old Amon G. Carter Stadium at halftime of the last game of the season. From remaining members of the 1938 National Championship team to recent 2009 graduates were in attendance, broken down by decades to pay their last respects to the stadium and to usher in the Horned Frogs to begin the second half.

2010-11 TCU ATHLETICS ANNUAL REPORT 37
CAPITAL GIVINGTo continue our momentum on the field, TCU must keep pace with the rising costs of athletics scholarships, which
have more than doubled during the past decade. Frog Club contributions help pay for athletics scholarships
and keeping our varsity programs fully funded. Capital gifts help sustain and build athletics infrastructure.
Together, the annual support of donors plays a major role in TCU’s success on and off the field.
Thanks to a gift from the David E. Bloxom Sr. Foundation, three new film towers will be installed on the Sheridan and Clif Morris football practice fields. The six overall towers are still named for the Darrell Lester Family.
An anonymous donor provided funding for a new van to be used by the TCU men’s and women’s tennis teams.
Included above is an artist’s rendering of the entrance to a new TCU football locker room which would be completed in time for the 2012 season.
38 2010-11 TCU ATHLETICS ANNUAL REPORT
TCU ATHLETICS SCHOLARSHIPSWinning intercollegiate athletics titles demands a team effort. To build these championship teams, scholarships
are vital to attracting and recruiting the highest caliber student-athletes possible. Giving to the TCU Frog Club
goes directly to the Scholarships for Champions campaign. In 2010-11, the total surpassed $5 million for the
first time, representing more than half the total cost of funding TCU’s 300 athletics scholarships.

FACILITIES UPGRADESThe Jane Justin Field House made its debut in August 2010 at the cost of $1.5-million, which was the largest gift ever at TCU for a project geared solely for women’s athletics.
The facility features 5,000-square-feet and includes home and visitor locker rooms, an officials’ locker room, a training room, of-fices, lounge area and wrap-around raised viewing terrace.
In their first game since the opening of the Jane Justin Field House, the Frogs posted a 7-0 victory over Texas Southern on August 22, 2010.

Lupton Stadium expanded the seating capacity in 2011 with a pair of upper deck sections down the first and third base lines. The extra 850 bleacher seats provided shade for the concourse patios and assisted TCU to reset the top-10 record attendance marks in program history. Overall, the Frogs’ average attendance figures went up 35 percent in 2011. The additional seating was put to use early as a stadium record 6,099 fans arrived for opening night against Kansas on Feb 18.

AMON G. CARTER STADIUMAmon G. Carter Stadium opened in 1930 and instantly became a landmark in the Fort Worth skyline. The up-per deck on the west side was added in 1956, making it visible from miles around campus.
During the first 80 years, TCU’s home field witnessed the likes of “Slingin’ Sammy” Baugh before he became a Pro Football Hall of Famer. Davey O’Brien scampered his way to a Heisman Trophy and national champion-ship in 1938. Bob Lilly played there before being the first-ever draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys and LaDainian Tomlinson set an NCAA single-game rushing record with 406 yards in a home game in 1999.
52 2010-11 TCU ATHLETICS ANNUAL REPORT
TCU played the final home game in the ex-isting Amon G. Carter Stadium on Nov. 13, defeating San Diego State, 40-35, to clinch a share of the Mountain West Conference cham-pionship.
A crowd of 45,694 Frog fans crammed through the turnstiles for the last time to watch TCU play its final home game, repre-senting the third sellout of the 2010 season and fourth in the last eight home games. TCU set a single-season attendance record for the second-straight year, averaging 42,466 fans per game. The previous record total from 2009 was 38,187. TCU won its last 20 home games inside the friendly confines of AGCS.
2010-11 TCU ATHLETICS ANNUAL REPORT 53
It took years to build TCU’s Amon G. Carter Stadium, but only seconds for Austin Com-mercial, the general contractor in charge of the Stadium reno-vation, to implode the West grandstand of the stadium on the morning of Sunday, Dec. 5.
54 2010-11 TCU ATHLETICS ANNUAL REPORT
The new Amon G. Carter Stadium will be recon-structed to its original height to ensure the sta-dium returns to the Fort Worth skyline. The fan experience will vastly improve with a new con-course, additional restrooms and concession areas, as well as more ramps and elevators. The stadium will also feature 31 suites and space for up to 2,537 club seats, in addition to new score-boards, a new press box and more seating in the north end zone. The stadium is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2012.

TCU Athletics thanks the following corporate partners
Corporate partners
TCU values its association with IMG College, which develops and establishes corporate partners with national, regional and local companies. These sponsors help make TCU Athletics among the best values for fans in the NCAA. In turn, our partners receive maximum exposure by associating with a major Division I program in a top market.
The 2010-11 year was a record year as IMG partnered with 188 sponsors. IMG College revenues exceeded an all-time high of $2.8 million. These monies go toward supporting the academic and athletic goals of TCU Athletics and Texas Christian University.
820 AM & 1270 AM – The TCU Sports Network became the only college in North Texas to offer a Spanish broadcast when it partnered with Univision Radio last season. Miguel Cruz served as Voice of the Frogs en Espanol and former TCU safety Elvis Gallegos handled the color analysis on what was a fun and rewarding first-year broadcast.

TCU’s Board of Trustees unanimously approved an invitation to join the BIG EAST Conference in all sports be-ginning with the 2012-13 academic year on Nov. 29, 2010. TCU will become an official member of the BIG EAST July 1, 2012. BIG EAST members in football are Cincinnati, Connecticut, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, South Florida, Syra-cuse and West Virginia. For sports other than football, the BIG EAST also includes DePaul, Georgetown, Mar-quette, Notre Dame, Providence, Seton Hall, St. John’s and Villanova.
By joining the BIG EAST Conference, TCU can continue its goal to build an excellent athletics program. The BIG EAST also provides TCU’s athletics program televi-sion exposure through ESPN, CBS Sports and SportsNet New York (SNY). The BIG EAST Conference has the longest stand-ing continuous relationship of any league with CBS Sports. In adding TCU and the nation’s fifth-largest television market, the BIG EAST Conference further strengthens its footprint on the national television scene. BIG EAST markets already con-tained almost one-fourth of all television households in the United States. BIG EAST institutions currently reside in nine of the nation’s top-35 media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. Headquartered in Providence, R.I., the BIG EAST Conference was formed in 1979. The league has won 28 national cham-pionships in six sports with 128 student-athletes capturing individual national titles. “We take tremendous pride in having a nationally-prominent athletics program and joining the BIG EAST Con-ference will allow us to further grow our brand and increase our visibility and exposure,” TCU director of intercol-legiate athletics Chris Del Conte said. “Having BCS automatic-qualifying status was a priority for our football program and a great reward for the success we’ve had the last decade under Gary Patterson. Keeping all our sports together was also critical. We are very excited to accomplish both these goals and look forward to our new home in the BIG EAST Conference.”
