Change of subject/revisit ownershio of SMU
On 10/14/07 I posted SMU was owned by the UMC. Some on this board disputed this. I also stated that Duke was owned by the UMC, some disputed that. It was an effort to get to the people that really make the decisions about $ to pay coaches and how to influence them to get the church to "Pony Up". So go to Google News, then SMU, then blogs. You will find an article by William M. Finnin Jr. The SMU Chaplin or some position like that. He makes it very clear about the ownership of SMU, Duke and a few other Universities including Northwestern. (Barnett) So for those that said I was not dealing with a full deck, please reconsider.

Why don't you just copy and paste the address? I can not find an article by Finnin on SMU in the first 5 pages of GOOGLE blogs on SMU.
Just send 'da money.

Pretty new to this board. Don't know the in's and outs. If I were to edit it now the whole thing would not make sense because I would be apologising for something that didn't happen. Does that make sense?
Makes as much sense as anything I ever post.

I can't get the computer to do it. So, go to Google news SMU, then hit blogs, then go to an article stating something like what does the "M" in SMU mean. If someone can get a direct link please post it.

Thanks, feels good to be right sometimes.
Don't get too comfortable
OK. This whole thing about coaching staff is related to the Universities affiliation to a religious denomination. Again I would say that those who want a good /excellent program at SMU should consider writing an E-mail to UMC.ORG. Explain your reasons etc. The church has more $ than the Hunts. Notre Dame is supported by the Catholic Church. The UMC is giving $ to several universities. SMU is the only one to own the name. They got upset over the DP and need to get over it. SMU will not hire someone with a messy "moral" past. (sex stuff). That excludes a couple of those mentioned on this board. So it's going to Bowden if we come up with a decent salary, what he wants.... SO.... Give him the $ and lets win.
