But Todd Baty, a senior history major from Dallas who writes for a campus newspaper called Hilltopics, wasn't as enthusiastic. "I think he's overpaid," he said.

But I feel $2 million is a lot of money that can be spent in more meaningful ways on this campus.

"People will come out of the woodwork if athletics needs money, but the university honors program needs more money and is still underfunded."


Is he aware that the coach's salary is being funded by donors? They are contributing money specifically to pay a football coach. If he wants more money for the honors program, he needs to graduate, put his degree to good use, and donate millions to the honors program himself.

That would require him to work hard, be subjected to logic, and motivate himself enough to not try and get someone else to do it.

After looking more closely at the article, it would also require him to change majors.

I believe you seek to find intelligence where there is none. This "writer" can only suggest that the money, which was specifically donated for football, be used to satisfy his personal needs. Perhaps if he played football he would support the money being used there. Perhaps if rode in women's equestrian he would cry that the noble sport of riding horses, and it is noble, has once again not received its due. Any authority he seeks to establish is undermined by his own ignorance and love of only those activities which include himself. I would traditionally suggest seppuku, but such an honorable end would be more than he deserves.



Does anyone else read this guys post with an accented whisper?

I agree. We will starve our enemies into submission!



I thought great writers were supposed to be starving, it's what gets the creative juices going!

I fear the only starving people on the SMU campus are the sorority girls, and that's for a different reason

Kinesiology is back. Surely the Stallion Model has now been adopted by SMU in its entirety. Nothing can be left, can it Stallion?
