Don't take this the wrong way UC, but when you compare our 2 schools in terms of academic reputation, location, beauty of campus, connections of our high-dollar alumni, local high school talent, value of TV markets, etc...i.e. all important criteria for a university, you can't hold a candle to SMU.
So the question a lot of us SMU folks have is why did this take us so long to figure out.
Once again, nothing personal, but there aren't 20 schools in the nation that have the advantages we do.
I get the optimism around your school but I would wait until you make a meaningful bowl game and/or the NCAA tournament before you start saying these kinds of things. Cincinnati has finished ranked in football in '08, '09, '11 and '12 also ranked in basketball in '11, '12 and '14. We are head and shoulders above the rest of the American in terms of production in the two major sports.
I congratulate you on your recent success, but it still doesn't change the fact that by every important criteria I listed, SMU is far superior to UCinn, or for that matter, any other AAC school.
