166 COMPLIANCE / STUDENT ATHLETES

STUDENT-ATHLETES If Amon G. Carter Stadium could talk, the stories it would tell. All told, hun - dreds of games have been played inside its classic stone facade. Yet, the sta - dium stands silent, save for two Latin phrases etched in stone forever.

Mens Sana in Copore Sano…a sound mind in a sound body. From the very beginning, TCU athletics has empowered the student as well as the athlete in its quest for the best in intercollegiate athletics.

Crede Quod Habeus et Habes…believe that you can and you will. Indeed, TCU continues to compete–and win–at the highest level of collegiate athletics, sponsoring 20 varsity sports, 11 for women and nine for men.

That quest for balance–to develop the student as well as the athlete–is still true today at TCU.

In striving to prepare the student-athlete for the challenges of today’s competi - tive world, TCU provides an academic support program that serves to enhance the collegiate experience of the student-athlete.

During the past year, TCU student-athletes did very well academically. The last two semesters have seen the highest grade-point averages by TCU student- athletes since the department began tracking the scores in 1999. Over half of the student-athletes had a 3.0 GPA or better. In an effort to graduate well-rounded student-athletes, TCU athletics marketing has involved the students in various community outreach efforts, including Cook Children’s Medical Center, Reading Frogs, the I Have a Dream Foundation and many other Fort Worth service projects.

Student-athletes have full access to the Academic Center located in the 38,000-square foot John Justin Athletic Center. This academic support area includes individual tutor rooms, group study rooms and a computer lab. The center provides student-athletes with much-needed academic space near their workout and competitive venues. The administration offices, including the athletic director’s staff, as well as the football and compliance offices are located inside the Justin Center.
