This could turn into must see TV, with those 2 controlling not just the conference bank account and other assets, but also all of the media archive rights. Hey USC, you want to show highlights of all your Heisman winners on your jumbotron? Pay up.

Last year it was 15 teams (which was everybody). 5 get a bye to the second round, and 4 get a double bye to the quarter finals. The remaining 6 play in the first round.

Good move, and better than anyone they added in the last round.

The SMU mascot that resembled the Dominoes Pizza Noid. Ridiculous!

I'd rather align ourselves with them than Oregon State and Washington State.

All who can leave PAC12 for greener pastures, do so now.

SMU joins what left of the PAC12 on a weaker media deal. Better than AAC, but what's left will hardly resemble a P5 anymore.
