Very interesting...
A group affiliated with the school's athletics alumni circulated an open letter last week that read in part:
"We are fed up, and no longer willing to accept the administration's position with regards to (specifically) the refusal to admit certain incoming student athletes to SMU. If these demands are not met, the gloves are coming off. It will be ugly and it will be very public. Enough is enough. We are not going back to the days of Phil Bennett and 1-win seasons."

Even in-state rival Rice, ranked 17th, simply uses the NCAA guidelines for eligibility.
I thought I kept reading on this board that Rice has more stringent qualifications than just the NCAA clearinghouse?

You'll do as you're told. It's Obama-time.
