You are right. It will bring 12 hotdogs, sodas, popcorn and hook/no never mind.

Having said that, if Aresco had not felt that the Mustangs would bail on the AAC at the first chance they had UNT would still be in CUSA.

No money for a few years, maybe Sherwood Blount can keep the program alive until some additional cash comes up.  A L every week in the ACC and no $$ to boot.  Not very good business if you ask me.

Wow, what a drubbing every weekend it will be in ACC land.

"In other words, the ACC did not expand because Stanford, Cal and SMU offer competitive upgrades in the sports that matter (they don’t) or because they add equal revenue value to the existing television contract (they don’t) or because they make geographical and logistical sense for a conference that exists exclusively in the Eastern time zone (they don’t)."

"In other words, SMU is going to literally pay to play in its new league despite being competitively irrelevant in its old one. There will be three presidential elections by the time SMU gets a dollar from television."

Ouch.

Harsh but true words:

You can't even blame SMU, whose wealthy boosters have decided that buying their way into a  power conference was a better way to go than actually doing the work of building solid programs and winning, like many of their peers who made a similar jump. This is America, after all. Bribes get a lot of things done.

I hope many of you can make it to the game.  There are a lot of good bus route options with low fares available to you all through DART. I am attaching a link for you with maps and information.
