Why?
UT's students show up and they don't play rock and hip hop on the PA.
A&M's students show up and they don't play rock and hip hop on the PA.
Hell, most high schools have more students show up to games than SMU does, and most of them don't play rock and hip hop on the PA.
College football and marching band music go together.
Oh, by the way, every student I've talked to says that the Mustang Band is the best part of the games, but they wish we played more.
