New Mexico State had a bye this week... They could've used 425k

That sounds easy, but bad FCS teams can play FBS schools that pay a lot more than SMU. Since SMU isn't offering top dollar, the available options aren't as many as you'd think.


Baylor scheduled Incarnate Word, who was handled by our local high school in joint workout. I can not think of easier team to schedule. If you want to schedule sure win just follow Baylors lead. And you could probably get Incarnate Word for less than $425,000.

No No No we can't play Incarnate Word-they were tied with UTEP going into 4th Q Saturday.

Concentrate on building a team that can beat every one on its schedule not finding a schedule of cupcakes we can beat. Cake tastes best made with real sugar not artificial sweeteners. Imagine yourself walking out of the Baylor game or TCU game as winners rather than walking out of a hollow victory over Montana St feeling nauseous

I guess the 1500 is about to become the 1496.

Stallion, my point is that if we aren't scheduling a sure win, then it should be FBS competition
