Advantage = SMU

Last summer, Houston unveiled a $160 million plan to upgrade its football and basketball venues. About $120 million is earmarked for a new football stadium, and school spokeswoman Cassie Arner said Wednesday that about $60 million has been raised.

SMU will have $$ to expand Ford in 48 hours if we go BCS. Mark it down.

Will they bus in the extra people

To back up our willingness to step and join a BCS conference, the commitment to expand Ford will have had to have been made by Turner and Orsini, who have a blank check in their pocket.

Cougar high is still struggling to get funds for their expansion. I doubt if they will raise the money in the next year so how could they possibly get into a BCS conference.

GO PONIES!!!

The guy I made fun of in high school for being a bigger dork than I was (and I was a huge dork) just sent them 10 million

John and Becky Moores used to be major benefactors but their divorce has changed their ability to give huge dollars to cougar high. I can't imagine there are too many alums of cougar high that can give multi-millions- so I still feel they will struggle to hit those numbers. JMHO.

GO PONIES!!!

This is where having deep pockets pays off. We've got stadium expansion plans and money in our pocket for it -- as well as conference entry fees. As the website says, we are ready to go now.
