Updated Report: SMU cancels 2009 and 2010 Missouri Games

No, if he went to a D-1 school, the transfer rule would apply. Justin only has one year of eligibility left, so he could not transfer to a D-1 school.

Are you sure about that? Wasn't there a guy who played in two national championship games for different teams because he graduated yet still had eligibility?

. . . Nice "reward" trip for the guys for their hard work. . .

Reward for what?

reading comprehension problem? these guys work a lot harder than the typical SMU student. They won't qualify for a bowl, but a trip to Hawaii would be a nice "Thank You" for all the hours they put in

Looks like New Mexico State, Hawaii, Washington State, Oregon State, Cal have open dates. Can't confirm NTSU's. Appears most of the directional Michigan schools have an opening.

It must be frustrating to lose a home and home with Missouri. That would have been a great home game in a couple years. Oh well, Missou loses a recruiting game in front of its DFW base and has to pay a team twice to go to Columbia. It works out OK for them because it solves the six game requirement and they're making tons of $$$ from the Border Showdown.

It's a negative for SMU except that it allows the Ponies to be closer to bowl eligibility in the next couple years. Missouri wasn't going to be a win next year and probably not even in two years. The home game money would've been nice.

Houston gets TX Tech in a 1:1 the next couple years. I'd hate to have that series cancelled. And that allows Tech more exposure to the Houston market where it's softer than DFW and Central TX.
