They've done it again!. The NCAA bloodhounds got the scent of the letters S, M, and U and reflexively gave the school two years probation. Thankfully, it was for Southern Maine this time.

At least they did not go after Singapore Management University. And yes they do have sweatshirts that look like ours - minus the Peruna

ok I am bored today so this is what I found:
The SMU approach to preparing graduates for an era of unparalleled choices is a focused but broad-based education. Modeled after the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, USA's top business school, SMU's curriculum aims to groom outstanding business leaders and creative entrepreneurs capable of excelling in a rapidly changing and dynamic world.
SMU is home to over 3,800 students and comprises four schools offering five undergraduate degree programmes: the Lee Kong Chian School of Business; the School of Accountancy; the School of Economics and Social Sciences; and the School of Information Systems, which has a partnership with IT-renowned Carnegie Mellon University. The university offers master's degree programmes in Wealth Management, Applied Finance, Professional Accounting, Applied Economics and in Economics and Finance (by research). The Wealth Management degree is offered in collaboration with the Swiss Banking School and the Wealth Management Institute. The university will continue to introduce new master's programmes and there will also be development of a university-wide PhD programme. SMU also has a dedicated Office of Research and provides public and customised programmes through Executive Education.
SMU has sparked controversy in the local and regional media by establishing its position as being "different" from the local legacy universities, challenging their pedagogy, operations and strategic development. Its advertisements, which feature SMU undergraduates in various acrobatic poses, have served to invoke comments about exactly how different, and how much better SMU graduates are.

Any chance they have an opening in the schedule next year? We could drop TCU and start a rivalry with SMU.

He was a Rivals 3 star cricket recruit in his day, but his shuttle time kept him out of the BCS schools.
