"We want to play at the highest level and win at the highest level," athletic director Steve Orsini said in a statement. "Conference USA has been very good for SMU, but as we monitor conference realignments, we know there may be new opportunities for our program. As a department and as an Athletic Director, our duty is to do what's best for SMU. We certainly believe that SMU, with its academics, media market, facilities and overall commitment to athletics, would be an asset to any league. We're excited about the future of Mustang Athletics."

Why change tradition?

Wouldn't it be funny if everything fell apart and the Pac !0 ended up stuck with Colorado? Little chance of that happening, but it would be freaking terrific.

Bwahahhaa...SMU's media market? What's that, Highland Park and University Park? No one in the DFW DMA gives a rat's a** about SMU. I think SMU posters complain about their lack of coverage in the DMN more than we do. I always have to laugh when I hear the notion that SMU "covers the Dallas media market."

While there are some advantages to being proactive I think SMU should take care with the way the officially announce their intentions. It’s one thing to say something to the effect of “we would naturally take a look if the right opportunity came our way…….” And a totally different issue if you come off as arrogant and implying you’re too good for where you’re at. But hey, let the Pony brass tick off enough of the C-USA schools so when they try to put a stop to a UNT invite to C-USA they are told to shut-up!

      "Donor Fatigue and Concerns: As the initial excitement fades and NIL becomes more established, some donors are experiencing "donor fatigue," meaning they are less willing to continue contributing at the same level. This is partly due to the increased financial burden on donors, as they are being asked to contribute not only to traditional athletic programs but also to support NIL deals. Donors are also questioning the value of their contributions, especially if teams aren't achieving on-field success or if they perceive that their money is not directly benefiting student-athletes. A lack of transparency and accountability within NIL collectives is also adding to donor concerns."

      Yes, it is a huge investment in the stadium, which is what got us into the AAC (our facility investments) and why we should value our football more. I was also trying to show the frequency of us "being in a Bowl" is something to be proud of, even if we didn't win them. It shows our seasons are not pitiful, we can and are usually competitive!

      Where is NIL drying up? For a lot of schools that is absolutely not the case at all. I'm sure there are exceptions but NIL spend is up across the board.

      There is more to the Nico/Tennessee story than just money. He was skipping meetings, practices, etc. Ghosting on previously agreed upon appearances and endorsement deals. Now you can look at it two ways: 1) Nico felt he was being low-balled by Tennessee and was using the NFL "holdout" approach to extort them for money money or 2) He's an immature college kid who has people in his ear telling him he's worth more than he actually is. Either way, the market will dictate the outcome. I can't blame Tennessee if they decide they don't want to set the precedent that this kind of behavior will be rewarded but it wouldn't shock me if a school like UNC suddenly decides to spend big money on a starting QB.
