TCU luring football recruits once out of reach

TCU’s appearance on ESPN “College GameDay” this week and an uptick in recruiting are among the benefits of being in the Big 12, coach Gary Patterson said Monday.

“Not just in athletics, but in academics and all the rest of it — how much the visibility of our university and the things that are happening,” he said during the conference coaches call with reporters. “Having an opportunity just like this weekend to be part of ‘GameDay.’ ”

The No. 8 Horned Frogs host No. 23 West Virginia at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. “College GameDay” will broadcast from The Commons on campus from 8 to 11 a.
