who hurt you?

SMU sold out every home game except Houston Christian this year. No need for UNT.

I wouldn't necessarily say that we won't play UNT again in football. SMU has played UNT a ton throughout its history. Far more than any other regional schools in the P4. That said, I doubt we will ever play in Denton again.

Football was definitely set up for better year one success coming off an 11 win season and a conference title. Basketball has a new coaching staff and a roster that needed overhauling. Early returns are very positive. 13-4 record and currently sitting inside the Top 50 in Live RPI and NET. Depending on how things go for the rest of the regular season there is a very good chance of an at-large bid for SMU but likely depends on how many ACC schools get in.

Actually one took two donors. Gerald J. Ford got into a bidding war with Lamar Hunt as the story goes. Wrote a check for $40m and hence, Ford Stadium. Lamar kicked in the other 20-ish million to complete it.

Duke is the #3 team in the country and embarrassing just about everyone they play. Its also year one in the ACC. SMU has a top ten recruiting class coming in next year for hoops. Still a 12-4 team with wins over LSU and Washington State. Probably NIT this year but a strong finish in the top four of the ACC might be enough to get in the tournament.

Morris to UVA! Going to be a tough year for him

"original poster child for pay for play"..... Tell me you know nothing without telling me you know nothing. Not even the worst in the SWC let alone the poster child. -

He's getting north of $500k and getting to finish out his college career at a P4 program that has elite academics. Lil' Morris' dad fleeced Arkansas for about $20m so I don't think he's gonna have to worry about begging for nickels under Harry Hines. -

but how do you really feel? -
Brett Yormark, Big 12 Commissioner, basically told SMU that there was one school in the country that made obvious sense to add and it was SMU but TCU, OK State, Baylor, Tech, etc. did not want to elevate SMU. This year is proving them right to a certain degree b/c with the level playing field SMU will outspend and surpass them in record time. Why waste four years of your life in Lubbock, Stillwater, Fort Worth, or Waco when you could be in Dallas?

what a bunch of garbage. Schools have been paying players, inducing high school recruits, and skirting (or outright ignoring) the rules since they started keeping score. The only difference now is that its out in the open for everyone to see. This is a bunch of revisionist history and yearning for the "good ol days" when in truth this stuff has always been there.
-
Nope. Embrace that entire era. We were willing to take care of our players financially and paid the ultimate price to do it. Now? Everyone's doing it. We have a billionaire class that has tasted some success and now can't get enough of it. SMU is going to consistently be a Top 4 team in the ACC.
