Twitter hate for SMU to the Pac12, has been buzzing all weekend. Mainly the Texas schools in the B12, especially Tech fans. TCU, Tech, Baylor and UH, don't want to see SMU get to a P5 and be on a level recruiting field with them.

It’s not us being in Texas it is an avenue for them coming to Texas. Just like the schools that schedule big games at Jerry World for the Texas exposure.

I honestly don't see how adding Texas (SMU) to the PAC12 is a big deal. Did adding Cincy or Temple to the AAC ever get us a high end player north of the Mason Dixon line?

I mean...I'm at Dallas Love Field airport wearing a SMU football shirt or hat and the # of people that ask me where SMU is is insane. Happens at least 5 times per year and I probably travel through there only ~10-15 times yearly. But somehow us being in Texas is seen as highly valuable. I don't get it. Don't get me wrong though...if it's a major selling point then I'm all for it.

Well DM11, you haven't posted much, but you seem to be pretty wise...for a young'un

I agree with your post.

If it isn’t wilner or canzano i don’t really pay much attention to “reporting” on the pac12 situation.

I would think the PAC 12 teams would be looking forward to SMU joining. It seems to me they need to be able to play and recruit in Texas. I feel they are being left behind in national recruiting. As for scholarship, that should not be much of a concern. Moreover, can't understand why Arizona State would leave anyway. They have a good home where they are in the PAC 12. And, they have the same need to recruit in Texas. I just don't see a problem (except perhaps the networks). However, whatever comes down, SMU needs to continue to improve and win games. In the long run, that will help more than anything else.

BPS. Chill

I fully expect several departures if/when we go PAC12. They're adding us mainly because we "bring the Dallas market". I imagine PAC12 schools are about as excited adding us to the PAC12 as we are about adding Rice to the AAC.

There you go again... doing your own research.... come on just follow what the media says..
It's better for everyone.
Lol

Who is this guy? Outkick says he is a Dodgers fan, and his posts seem to be more about COVID/masks and trans issues than college sports, let alone the PAC 12/10. I'd like to have any idea that he knows anything before reacting to this.

This is a stupid post and makes no sense. It’s like tech and Oklahoma state trolling about adding Houston and Cincinnati.

Sonny has proven that he can defy Peruna's law. It's tough playing on the road especially half way across the country and in unfavorable weather. I think the UCF game is a great wake up call but looking at the play by play UCF shot themselves in the foot with alot of mistakes that I don't see our team making. We have a great DL up front and I don't think Navy has a secret prolific passer. I think we get the W folks.

The AAC is CUSA

Relax! At worst we end up in the MWC which is no worse than the WAC 16.
