What Turner and Most of The Board Thinks of Baylor

yeah and you're full of [deleted]. SMU got a commitment from Connor Preston on June 10, 2010- 7 months before signing date-long before Manziel committed. Manziel committed to Oregon on June 26 and then committed to Texas A&M on September 21

Johnny in his own words-at time of Oregon commitment-no mention of SMU silent commitment-heck no mention of SMU-boy that was some kind of silent, almost stealth-like commitment

"Though Oregon was the team he had committed to, he had a lot of choices to weigh before the final decision. "I had 7 or 8 offers, Baylor, Stanford, ISU, Rice, La Tech, Colorado State, Wyoming, and Tulsa."

I think it's important to point out that while SMU now offers new curriculum tracks that appeal to some student-athletes (the aforementioned "athlete-friendly" majors) via the Simmons School of Education and Human Development, there are no free passes for student-athletes to get a degree at SMU.

SMU has ponied up to build support programs to help kids from (let's call it) underperforming (or non-English speaking) educational backgrounds get up to speed. but that actually means more work for those kids to graduate not less.

Just wanted to clarify that adding "athlete-friendly" majors at SMU is by no means the same thing as the usual connotation of "athlete-friendly" majors at, for example, UNC or other B.S. University.

Outside of the fake history classes isn't UNC rated higher than SMU as a university?

Would you take such a ranking as fact?

What ranking has SMU ahead of UNC? Or are you going on your SMU homer emotions?

Nope. Honestly don't care about academic rankings. What I'm trying to say is you throw out how they are academically superior (based on rankings) while saying they also engaged in academic fraud.

I'd say this is somewhere along the lines of "our football team is ranked higher we just have a monster sexual assault scandal running through the program and university". I'd stay away from both universities at the current moment and expect more from our nation's universities.

I also do not take rankings all that serious and especially do not when this is the case with UNC. A quality education can be had at any university or public library. We can now add this thread to the list of dead horses we continue beat on this board (realignment, uniforms, academic rankings, etc.).

Oh okay, I didn't think you had any substance behind what you were saying, just your own thoughts on the issue. I guess by your theory UNT could say they are superior academically to SMU because they may not care about rankings. Whatever, both UNC and SMU were involved in academic fraud regarding athletics, heck even the SMU golf team cheated in other areas but that does not mean Kenan-Flagler Business School nor Cox School of Business are not any good? No Most people who don't care about rankings usually don't care because their school is ranked behind some school they don't like. And I don't care if you don't care about rankings.

"I'm" not full of anything. I'm just passing what June claimed along. Like I said, take his claim and the Dale Hansen claim with a grain of salt.

If you read what Rebel and Stallion post and picture Trump saying it is gets pretty entertaining.

Go ahead JasonB show us one player that signed with Stanford because he couldn't get into SMU. Show us when and where Johnny Football "secretly committed" to SMU. Some of us actually follow SMU recruiting very closely and neither happened. This is typical JasonB June worship-as usually with no factual support

I secretly worshipped the ground June Walked on and here's proof.

Guess what video this would be.

I agree Stallion, I guess Kevion Gamble he could have gotten into Stanford since they got into SMU.

Looking forward to your penetrating analysis of the SMU Defense this year-its always good for a few laughs
