If every team can find a P5 team to play them. Could get like hoops where LB has a tough time finding P5 teams that want to play us.

LB has publicly stated that he not a lot of P5 teams want to play us and that we were fortunate get a home and home with Michigan. Gonzaga is not a P5 team.

Yeah this year's bball ooc is the last we will get to play us at moody. Best hope is to host a tourney at AAC and invite a bunch of big 12 schools.

We have Stanford coming and I think we will be able to sign up a few more. I feel that the reluctance of good basketball schools to play SMU at Moody has more to do with it being a guaranteed loss for them than SMU being non p5 right now.
If that's the case then do the Boise and play them at their places, beat them, also set up games at the AAC or neutral sites. Isn't basketball OOC scheduling done a year or so before the game rather than a few years out as in football?

If SMU pulls the plug on that series, they have a lot of games to fill. Assuming there's no interest in MAC or Sunbelt opponents, can they find enough from CUSA and MWC? Finding four P5 schools to play each year will be tough (unless they are willing to play most of them on the road).

isn't the UNT series home and home? If so, I don't think we would have any buyout, just walk away with a reasonable notice provisions. I am not opposed to playing UNT let's say twice in every six year period, but the every year trumped up rivalry thing is a mistake. All sorts of interesting teams we could play. How bout BYU in early October? As an indy, they need games, would probably like to play in Dallas, and they draw well.

We aren't going to drop the series two years after signing it.

Missed this from Brett Vito's DMN write-up last Sunday morning:

"If all goes according to UNT’s plans, the Mean Green are going to be playing SMU on an annual basis for a long time. Both teams have an out in a couple of years, one UNT won’t take."

We will if CM wants to. He wasn't around when the series was signed. Playing NT does absolutely nothing to help us get into a P5 conference.
