It is my feeling that SMU has not been committed to winning football since the death penalty until recently.
Now what would ever give you that idea? I kid...

Yes if we played in the Big 12 against the faggies or horns we would fill the stadium with their fans. Just like it was pre death penalty. At least then we had teams that could compete.
Dallas as a city cares little for SMU. There are numerous reasons for this. Mostly the fact that there are so many OU,LSU,OSU,UT,eATmeU alumni around here. SMU is seen by many around Dallas as a second rate rich kids school. The reality is a little different but perceptions persist. With the Shrub library it only gets worse. Never will be a huge interest in SMU football around Dallas. Never has been even when we were winning pre death pentalty. We are lucky to be in Conference USA. At least there are some other schools like SMU including Tulsa and Tulane. SMU is in a big conference that is suited to it imo. Why play UT when we know we will get slaughtered year in and year out? not a good idea nor do the big schools even want SMU since we have proven we can only win games against division 2 schools like southwest texas state.
I don't care whose fans fill up Ford Stadium as long as it is getting filled up with paying customers. Why would we want to play UT? Because we want a program that is at a level that can compete with the UTs of the world. We had several very successful runs playing the big boys during our history. I saw our team whip UT several times when I was a student. I would like for that to be our goal again. Until the BCS is run out of existence, the big power conferences are the way to go. The top players, with few exceptions, want to play for a school that at least plays in a BCS conference. I don't think we should be scared of competition and I think we should set our sights high. Maybe it will be a slow process, but that is where this program should be some day.
