Memphis has a ton of corporate money ( Fedex etc ) behind them
that Tulane does not. The community is also behind the Tigers. Win
win for the Big 12 imho but Yormark has never struck me as that
bright.

Very sad. Big 12 is a knuckehead conference. This proves it. Memphis
deserves a shot. Life is not fair.

Always nice to have another podcast. Listened to a recent episode.
Recconended.

Remember Clemson's 1981 Natty. Homer Jordan, Tuttle etc. Not a huge
Dabo fan but I pulled for the Tigers against Alabama.

There used to be an old joke: A Notre Dame player went to confession. He told the priest, I spit in my opponent's eye. Terrible said the priest. I also held him multiple times. Horrible said the priest. I also kicked him in the groin. Reprehensible said the priest. By the way who was this opponent ...

I too would love to see some JD feedback. Ignorant lay person when it comes to all that.

No alarm for most on this board. How sad. All the CA and B school
alums do not understand how critical it is SMU maintains R1. Engineering
and the hard sciences ( Dedman ) rely on federal money to function.
AAU status is becoming more of a pipedream every day under this extremist
presidential ...

Thanks to Dr Loboa for getting us to R1 but given the non scholarly
background of this new hire I remain skeptical we achieve AAU status
any time soon.

From all accounts I have read, he is a great fundraiser.

Duke and USC are on a different pedestal than SMU academically. Likely we eclipse them in the
tuition department.

Sadly, no public mention of Science or Engineering in the
public comments made by Hartzell. SMU will never be an
AAU institution without increasing enrollment in these
difficult majors.

Very important SMU accomplishes this in the near future.

Not possible to raise the overall academic profile of the University
without proping up Engineering and the hard Sciences. No AAU status
otherwise. Hope this guy realizes the necessity.

Impressive credentials.
