I could be totally wrong here, but I doubt FSU or Clemson are going anywhere any time soon. They may WANT to, they may scream and cry and moan (sort of like Texas) that they are well-known football brands but the economics don't make any sense.
ESPN owns the SEC and the ACC rights. Neither FSU nor ...

Re: Faculty Senate President Speaks Out: SMU ΓÇÿdoes not belie
Right, but it's not just about the lethality of the disease, which still is nothing to sneeze at and has long-term effects even if you recover. It is about the fact that it spreads quickly and a high number of patients require hospitalization to recover, and those hospitalizations average 2-3 weeks ...

Re: no marching band this football season for AAC
I hate to point this out, but if it's not safe for the bands, it is certainly not safe for the football players. I know this is all about the money, but if you are unwilling to risk band members lives (and why would you want to?) then you can't risk athletes' lives either.

Re: To SID: 'A' band or 'The' Band?
Don't the football players have the same finals? I mean, that sort of is the point of being a college team. If accommodation can be made for them, then I'm sure the band can be accommodated as well.

Re: Chad Morris --- Love seeing CM Blow a big lead
I don't understand all of the Chad hate. After June, his carnival sideshow was fun. It was fun to be a Mustang fan again for a little while. He managed to get us from the burning embers of the end of June to a decent and incredibly lucky but fun to watch 7-5. We all knew that he would bolt with any ...

Re: Student Media Gone
Oh, I don't admire the DC. At times, I thought the reporting and writing at times was terrible and should have been higher quality, but that is irrelevant to the discussion at hand. This isn't about Pulitzer prize winning journalism (though I wish that was the case). The point is that an independent ...

Re: Student Media Gone
Happily. SMU changed the student fee formula to exclude the student media, thereby creating an additional economic hardship on the SMC at a time when revenues were thin. It has assisted with no fundraising efforts whatsoever, even though in the last month or so they had a huge fundraising day for ...

Re: Student Media Gone
I understand that the board of the SMC is a separate corporation (and one that has been negligently run at best), but SMU did actively weaken the SMC with past decisions, and it could have founds means either means to either help maintain an independent student media, or could step in with systems ...

Re: Student Media Gone
Things didn't go well because clearly the board and the school didn't want them to go well. This is seriously disturbing and disappointing.

...if I'm going to complain when SMU screws something up, to give applause when we do something good. It may be a little late to the game, but good job SMU:
