New Requirements to Join The Mob
Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2014 8:10 pmHey guys. Figured I would let you know what's going on with The Mob this season after its success last season. We got emails from the athletic department today that details how to gain membership this season. We have to get 130 points by going to select athletic events in the fall to become eligible to join. Gaining those points though does not guarantee you membership as it will be capped.
Reaction has been mixed from students (because the system is more complex than last year), but I don't really see an issue with it. Should weed out the students that are lazy and don't make a very good fan presence.
Here's the email:

SMU Athletics and Men’s Basketball would like to thank you for being part of the historic first year of The Mob. We thank you for providing Moody Coliseum with one of the best home court advantages in all of College Basketball! We hope the momentum from last year will carry over into 2014-2015 as The Mob enters its 2nd year.
