Ha, randomly watching the 80's BMX movie, Rad, and in the first 5 minutes there's an SMU mention.
The rich preppy kid is showing off his college acceptance letters to his friends and says "What more could you want: UCLA, SMU, Yale, Harvard..."
Rad!

I'm sure the arrogant blonde guy enrolled at SMU, he fits the role

Well, the traffic was murder, you know. One of those manure spreaders jackknifed on the Santa Ana. Godawful mess. You should see my shoes.

I wish someone with the skilz could put together a YouTube video of SMU mentions and appearances in TV and film. It would be impressive. For a little ol' private school in Texas, SMU has had more than its share of shots and shout-outs in Movies and TV.
These are the ones I could think of off the top of my head:
Born of the Fourth of July
Talk Radio
Seniors (Dennis Quaid's first movie, and Animal House ripoff)
Mars Needs Women (scenes from an SMU-Baylor football game at the Cotton Bowl!)
Jerry Maguire (SMU is the alma mater of "Cush" the hotshot QB - you see a poster of him in an SMU uniform in the backgroung)
The West Wing (SMU is the president's alma mater)
Dallas (countless episodes showing Lucy Ewing on campus)
Gilligan's Island (one of The Professor's degrees is from SMU...he lists an alphabet soup of alma maters)
Celebrity (an NBC mini-series in the 1980s)
I'm sure there are many more references to SMU. It would be fun to see them compiled in one video.

I'm pretty sure SMU has some connection to the State Fair movie in the 1930s. I remember seeing a reference when I searched the DMN online archives years ago.
