Hot Damn!
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

This is such great news! To all the naysayers, this conference represents the combination of athletics and sports in the nation. Well done.

Have a lot of respect for the 12 universities that voted for this.

Literally could not have asked for a more perfect scenario.

I suppose we should thank the Big XII for the "assist" in making this happen

If this is true, I suspect the ACC teams will be fighting each other on who gets to come to Dallas. Talk about helping their recruiting. I hope those who voted against us, don't come for about 8 years.
UNC better keep that Ram away from Peruna

HaHa! 3 pages worth of complaints on their board.

We all owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to our BMD.

For SMU fans wondering about scheduling, I believe that the ACC will be moving to a nine-game conference schedule that includes only two permanent opponents. Cal, SMU, and Stanford will likely be each otherΓÇÖs annual opponents in this scenario to reduce travel on the rest of the conference. Then, youΓÇÖd rotate between two groups of seven schools each that will be a geographic blend. This means that youΓÇÖd play at every ACC stadium once every four years. For SMU, itΓÇÖd probably look something like this:

ΓÇó Annual opponents: Cal, Stanford
ΓÇó Even years: Duke, Boston College, Clemson, Miami, Pitt, UNC, Virginia
ΓÇó Odd years: FSU, Georgia Tech, Louisville, NCST, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest

Too bad they are dropping us from their schedule. We will just have to make do with, oh I don't know, maybe playing Notre Dame instead?

Does Sonny The Snake deserve a little credit too? I think his deeds might have fired the money men up!

I never liked Notre Dame but I travelled to our pre DP game in South Bend in the 80s. I have never visited a friendlier more welcoming place for visitors. Our band didn't make the trip so their band played our fight song for a group of us! Class all the way.
