What date date they talking about on the ND board? The current open dates for SMU are 9/14, 10/12, and 11/9 and the FCS games vs HCU is on 8/31. Notre Dame is at Purdue on 9/14, hosts Stanford on 10/12, hosts Florida State on 11/9, and is at Texas A&M on 8/31. There is pretty much zero chance they ...

Any hints IPP as to which way SMU is leaning? Home or road? G5 or P5? Sept. or Oct.?
CA Mustang although still a longshot, now I hear Hawaii could be back in play because someone canceled on them.
Hawaii complicates a season already with a lot of travel. Unless someone is willing to cancel a ...

Texas A&M currently needs three games '26, two '28, three '29 and has nothing scheduled past 2029.

Arkansas currently needs two games from '27-'29, three games from '30-'33, and has nothing scheduled past '33.

The A&M/Arkansas deal to play at JerryWorld ends in '24 and both schools have indicated ...

I read in a Tampa newspaper article that FSU is saying that it will lose $390 M over the life of the media contract compared to its membership in the BIG or SEC.




Always gotta love the ridiculous "They are making more money over there which means I'm losing money over here" [deleted] people ...

What was Colorado's hurry to leave? Wouldn't it make more sense to look at the numbers?

They got sick of being jerked around by Pac 12 leadership. Those numbers have been promised to come in multiple times and they keep kicking the can down the road which likely means the numbers aren't all that ...

Wrong. They've always brought in great crowds. It has nothing to do w/Sanders.

Best case scenario is SMU to the PAC-12


Best case scenario is the SEC deciding to use SMU and Houston or Rice to permanently lock down DFW and Houston.

Obviously not the most realistic but the SEC is the best math for SMU long term.

Pac is a dead man walking and in the long run so are the ...

$1 beers, $1 dogs, free admission. Then run the score up for entertainment. WeΓÇÖd build a fan base pretty fast!

Don't need free admission but family packages dirt cheap and finding a way to make the Boulevard more inclusive is the path to really becoming Dallas' college team...just like the ...

I would have gone with Deion purely b/c of the attention he would have brought the program. He's not doing too shabby w/the actual Xs and Os either.

seeing people say Dykes to TCU is already a done deal

Is our attendance really that bad? Take at look at OU/Kansas Big XXII game on Saturday!

.... in front of an announced crowd of 26,321, in a college town just 4 hours from Norman.


To be fair, you can't use Kansas as a barometer for judging attendance. They would struggle to get an American ...

Didn't say it was a good one but it's definitely a cultural difference. I think most people coming out of SMU are getting consulting jobs where they're on flights Monday through Thursday (can't be at a game Thursday night in that case) and working insane hours while also surrounded by the same ...

I'm sorry but what exactly is the admin supposed to do about a fanbase that refuses to show up to games? That's the #1 reason SMU did not get an invite to the Big 12.

I think on average the alums are showing but we are generating zero interest from non-alums. Dallas folks are spoiled when it ...

I'm with you, I question the official attendance numbers too. If the stadium holds 32,000, it looks more like 2/3 empty rather than 2/3 full.


Attendance numbers at sporting events are almost always based on tickets sold. Sometimes they also add staff in the stadium as well but usually that's ...
