You people have no idea how difficult this is apparently. We pass the hat every year to the same 5 guys and they keep us in business. You cant keep going back to that well forever - eventually this will have to be sustainable.
I think therein lies the frustration. We already had this thing ...

Re: SMU vs. UCF game thread
I have long thought that whether or not it is deserved, Jank will survive because of sanctions, not practicing 5 on 5, Jarrey's injury, etc., and for the record, I still think he'll survive. But this game is reminiscent of the Boise State game that sealed Dement's fate. I don't think it will change ...

Re: Town Hall Q&A
Over a 5 yr stretch, we were top 5 in winning percentage and total wins. Constant top 25 squad, sold out arena. That's big business college hoops, Whether you want to admit to it or not

Re: Reseat Question
The success or failure of the re-seat remains to be seen. I don't doubt RGV's numbers. I would have guessed that giving increased as well. The unknown is going forward. We lost a lot of season ticket holders that just plowed money into the program year after year without much fanfare. As has been ...

Defenders of the reseat like to throw out market rate...Here is what market rate is now. Depressing. Market rate is also $10 tickets and $10 food vouchers to get people to see this garbage non-conference schedule.

Re: How fast to burn it down?
As I said at the time, I donΓÇÖt think the re-seat was a mistake from the athletic departmentΓÇÖs perspective, because they succeeded in milking every last ounce of profit that was left from the goodwill generated LarryΓÇÖs last 4 (amazing) years. It was actually one of the more impressive money ...

Re: Full 2018-19 non-conference schedule released
Wrong way to reward your season ticket holders after that re-seat debacle. That is a pathetic non-conference and a good way to remove yourself from consideration by the committee.

Re: POLL: Deadline passed... what did you wind up doing?
It was a bit stressful because I had to reload the screen a few times, but all in all I wound up doing the same donation for 4 seats and moving back 1 row but moving one section over to 204 from 203. My old ones were taken but I did get 4 together instead of the 2 and 2 that I had so overall it was ...

Re: New IPF... here it allegedly is...
This looks great! As someone said before, you can always count on SMU to get the buildings and master plan right. Should be a very nice addition to the campus and hopefully also a fun gameday experience if they are to host events or receptions.

Re: POLL: Deadline passed... what did you wind up doing?
I renewed at the same level as last year. I want to see where that puts me. If I can get my same seats or improve then I will be ok. If I am pushed into the upper corners then I will make it my farewell tour. I think SMU completely botched this process. You have got to take care of your core and ...

Re: Goodbye To Shake: Thank You!
I am completely opposed to paying players. However, I think colleges should pay insurance policies for pro prospects and colleges should pay health insurance for any injuries incurred while competing for that program. If someone has trouble walking the rest of their lives because they sustained ...

Re: Goodbye To Shake: Thank You!
Until the NCAA makes dramatic changes to athlete compensation/insurance, I will never begrudge a guy for protecting his himself over his team. Best of luck to Shake.
What changes should the NCAA make? Are you talking about paying every student athlete at each school because I am pretty sure they ...

Re: Goodbye To Shake: Thank You!
While I understand Shake's decision I do not agree with him getting a pass. If indeed he was cleared to play (which I am not sure is accurate or not) then he should have played. I fall into the camp that thinks you owe that to the fans but even more so to your teammates? Again, if indeed he was ...

Re: brand bias
Look across town at TCU. They are STILL a 6 seed according to Lunardi. I think Nevada and West Virginia are their 2 biggest wins? There is a huge bias towards the Big 12 this year and it has really helped our rivals.

Blunt, what you are describing is exactly what the MC board is. Passionate people with congruent but unique points of view wanting to have a voice. If you'd like to be involved, have someone nominate you, or pm me. Obviously 1900 separate conversations can be unwieldy but as Dutch mentioned there ...
