...us here in the C-USA are now forced to take a look at the state of the C-USA, once again, and figure out if any new potential conference realignment insanity will cause a stir here at home.

We have all heard about the SMU Mustangs and their newly public campaign for inclusion in the Big 12. By the way, where the heck is Britton Banowsky when SMU President R. Gerald Turner makes comments like this?

"We are pushing for it," SMU president R. Gerald Turner said. "We want the city to know we’re pushing for it. We need as much help as possible, even from non-SMU alums. We believe it’s good for Dallas."

Yes, SMU is a fine academic institution. Yes, SMU was once a football powerhouse (even though they bent the rules for that success). While there is no denying that the Big 12 is a step or three up from the C-USA, I still wish SMU would go about this campaign a bit differently. I understand that realignment is all about doing what's best for yourself. But do you have to be so public with your aspirations? Can't you at least pretend to be happy with a league that has stood by you while your program recovered from the Death Penalty?

SMU is proving that the only thing that matters right now is getting what's best for yourself. It's for that reason that I think we will all enjoy watching the Big 12 breeze past Dallas for Provo, Pittsburgh, or Lousville, should they decide to replace the Aggies.
