Yes but the difference with those is that no one cares about TCU in any of those cities.
No they don't, do they? Approximately $15 million of the just announced $267 million TCU has raised in its most recent capital funds drive came from Chicago and environs. Some $7 million came from Southern California. Wish more cities cared that much about TCU (and SMU, too, for that matter.)[/quote]
That's really not that impressive when you consider how big (& wealthy) Chicagoland and SoCal are, though.
How long did that capital campaign take, by the way? $267 mil is pretty impressive. I'd assume that's over 2-3 years?[/quote]
The campaign still has two years to go. The $267 million is not near as large as SMU's current campaign, but it is, as you say, impressive.
