Congrats on getting wined and dined by your alma mater. But now that the Notre Dame saga is over, there is a pressing need that requires your immediate attention:
HIRE A MEN'S SOCCER COACH, AND MAKE IT A GREAT ONE.
There are rumors going around, and I don't know which are true and which aren't, and frankly, I don't care. Nonetheless:
• You seem to be an AD with a keen understanding of image and public perception. Because of that, DO NOT GET DUPED INTO HIRING A YOUTH/CLUB COACH. I don't care how successful he is  SMU will be laughed at, and your image will be sullied. When Kansas lost Roy Williams a few years ago to North Carolina, KU didn't go out and snag an AAU coach  it went and got Bill Self, a terrific head coach at a major basketball school. We need you to do the same. Unless a top-10 head coach is interested, Tim McClements and Kevin Grimes should be the only candidates on the list.
• Personally, I vote for McClements. Grimes was a great player, and I hear he's a great coach, but McClements knows the team, including the incoming freshmen. This team is on the cusp of a College Cup appearance, if not a national title. Please allow them to make a run by extending the continuity with McClements. This team is not in need of an overhaul, or a new system or a new lineup. Stay the course  hire McClements.
College head coaching experience. Knowledge of the North Texas soccer community. Experience recruiting. Strong relationship with the team, including a sensational senior class. McClements is the man  don't ignore the forest for the trees. You can make this happen, and should.
OK, Steve-O, back to work

Plagiarize!
Let no one else's work evade your eyes.
Remember why the good lord made your eyes.
So don't shade your eyes, just
Plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize!
(Only be sure always to call it, please .... "research.")

Glad the insiders were wrong. Or that whatever happened to keep him here happened. Not trying to pick on expony, but remember this one that I'm also glad was wrong: "It's Fran."

SO needs to upgrade Moody.
SMU needs to be one of the top 2 or 3 BB programs in Texas and a perennial Top 25 team in the nation.
Lofty goals but achievable.

I like how this is a soccer and Moody renovation thread all packed in the football forum.
