From what I read earlier, I believe it is going to be used for professional tennis tournaments also and may in the end be a money maker or at least make up for some of the cost.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Div II- III schools don't need IPS etc. That is most likely where we are headed with RGT and casper.
Crickets regarding the P5 proposals etc.

I think that's where the IPF was going to go, but June didn't want his players to have to cross the street....

If SMU wants to become a bigtime program, then it needs to re-brand it's image from the one it has as one for rich kids. Most of the rich kids go back home and are not big fans in the future. It needs to be Dallas team and appeal to north Texans for support. That begins with getting the best local talent possible and coaching the heck out of em. It isn't going to happen overnight. Who are the best coaches available with Texas ties who can get out there and recruit and inspire the masses.
