It is a simple question. Do you support a further commitment to football with new facilities?

So what is the deal on the indoor practice facility currently? I know that it's been tossed around. But there's also a lot of other projects being fund-raised for right now (Moody, Perkins, etc.). Anyone have an idea of where such a facility is in the queue?

A practice facility for football should be placed ahead of Moody. Perkins should not even be considered for renovations until the other two projects are complete. Swimming is not a revenue sport, and it draws slightly less than does the basketball team.

Football and basketball are the most visible sports, and that should place them as the highest priorities. SMU is moving ahead in football, and should build on that momentum while the opportunity is present. Anything else will simply have to wait.

Priorities and timeliness must be weighed heavily towards what adds most value in any potential conference realignment scenario

Highland Park HIGH SCHOOL has one. Why does SMU not already have one?
