Besides basketball is more relevant nationally and athletic programs and schools get far more respect for basketball success than baseball success

Doesn't matter. You give money to the program that is more successful and that your fans are behind. I'd be willing to bet TCU baseball has way more fan support than basketball.

When I was a kid TCU Basketball was the most popular program, even more than football or baseball. You had to camp out to get tickets. When TCU Basketball is good the support is there. But the past 10-15 years our athletic department hasn't given it the resources to be competitive with recruits. Our facilities have been a joke, are very old and outdated. Arena has needed an upgrade for 20 years. It's hard to recruit like that.

Billy Tubbs and Jim Christian both left because our athletic department refused to invest in basketball. Our women's basketball coach just left for the same reason.

In the same time frame our baseball program has gotten a new stadium and multiple facility upgrades.
