Hello!

I wanted to ask around this subreddit to see if anyone knows of any solid Catholic-related clubs/organizations at TCU. My younger brother is heavily considering TCU as his 1st/2nd choice college option (he's a rising senior in HS rn), and if he can land the right financial aid and his major, I think he might be set to attend Fall 2027. We come from a Catholic family, and me and my parents are checking to see how strong the Catholic community is at TCU to ensure he is able to have a solid group to help him stay grounded in the faith and be surrounded by a familiar environment. In all honestly, my parents have always been cradle Catholics, so it was more of a cultural thing for us for most of me and my siblings' lives, it's only recently that we started to become more devout in the faith, and specifically for my brother, they want to see him headed in the same direction at TCU.

I read a little about the TCU Newman Center, but I'm not sure how strong its presence is on campus or other weekly activities it holds (weekly rosaries, masses, bible studies, etc.) For instance, I've heard a lot of great things about A&M's Newman Center, and it's amazing how much impact they've had on their students. But it is a significantly larger school and student population than TCU, so I guess it may not be the best comparison to make.

I'd love to hear if anyone has any advice or guidance to share in this regard!

Also, Sports Illustrated is reporting the same wages: https://www.si.com/soccer/how-anthony-gordon-doubled-salary-compares-barcelona-teammates

Every other source I have looked at says the wages are being effectively doubled from the 150k/week at Newcastle for his new 5-year contract at Barca. Also, the transfer fee was 10 million higher than Fabrizio reported, so it's also sitting at 80+10 million with add-ons. Seems a little fishy since the whole reason they haven't signed Rashford yet is because of his wages (325k/week base), and he's reportedly ready to take a wage cut as big as 40% (which would bring it down to 195k/week).

Any thoughts on this discrepancy? I know Gordon would fit Hansi's system better than Rashford, but if Barca claim they can't afford 26 million pounds + potential for 195k/wages for Rashford (who's had a fantastic statistical season coming off the bench for most games) but splash 90 million + 300k/week contract for a player like Gordon seems contradictory.
