Simple exposure for the football team.....if you are going to be good then you want people on ESPN talking about you as much as possible. There is nothing like a season opening Classic matchup to do this especially for a smaller school.

Now they lose one game of the match up.

True....I would assume they got some type of monetary compensation on this matter from the Classic.....unless they just called it even for not having to travel to BR.

the school itself loses exposure

Not really. You will still get your commercials on the tube and think of the extra exposure you get from the other outlets like I mentioned above.

Ft Worth loses revenue

I can bet you that the TCU athletic administration has very little concern for Ft. Worth......Ft. Worth is a pretty bad arse little place and can fend for itself. In fact I would recommend every Tiger fan make it down to the Stockyards at some point before or after the game. I know I will.

TH03 the home and home was scheduled for 2013 and 2014. TCU did not bitch out of anything.

Do you not think ESPN would go to the LSU TCU game as a season opener if it were at LSU or TCU? The game would still get national coverage.

As far as exposrure sure we will get TV commercials and etc. but how many LSU fans walk away saying TCU is one hell of a nice school and campus. How many end up saying, I can't beleive how new and nice everything is or how great it was to tailgate with TCU fans.

Ft Worth as a whole will not skip a beat just like the big city of BR would not if a home game is lost. But dont for one minute think there is not substantial revenue that flows into a city when large traveling schools come to town. Hotels, resturants, liqour stores, etc. All the way down to the tri delts who sell programs at the game.
