Not if the PAC 12 loses P5 rating that  doesn’t help SMU at all. 

Easy to see SMU powers cannot justify building a south end zone expansion  using ex Dallas Mayor/SMU alum Garry Weber’s  $50 million donation if they stay in a G5 conference.

I agree with Gray Eagle that the P5 & G5 designations have to go. That would be a game-changer in so many ways. 


UNT needs to build our end zone venue  because we flat out need it but mostly for all the other ancillary athletic facility square footage space that will come with it.

Difficult for UNT to justify spending millions of dollars to build out an end zone in stadium that seats 30,000 and has average attendance of only 20,000. I don't know what our demand is for suites, but if there is one then adding them along   with needed ancillary athletic facility square footage might make some sense, not that anything regarding R.O.I in athletics does.

Meh, a Pac 12 without Oregon and Washington isn't a P5.  They definitely probably need to stop scheduling FCS schools non-conference and "upgrade" to another conference if the AAC loses good members.  I would rather see them use their influence to help bring in Air Force and Army to our conference.  None of the MWC schools do much for the Pac 12 except preemptively stops Big 12 from expanding west.  And the schools currently in the MWC besides Air Force are a very low in national TV ratings.  And the ones in major metro areas just don't have strong local fanbases.
