its reported he is scheduled to graduate on time-in fact I thought someone said he could graduate at mid-term. Coaches have the discretion to deny a 4th year player a 5th year. What makes you think the Coaches will want to use that scholarship on a 4th string QB.

Hey, if he gets the degree from SMU, that's all that really matters. Right?

hahaha funny coming from you
I greatly respect and appreciate the value of a degree from SMU. My father had one and so does my wife, as well as several other relatives and friends.

If Willis grads out this year could he transfer to a different D1 school that has a masters degree that SMU does not offer an play his 4th year - Could it be in the same conference.
I want to point out that I don't think SMU should schedule D-1-AA schools-EVER. Its just a reality that SMU is gonna find it difficult to schedule a game against a quality opponent at this late date. TCU and Hawaii are two programs that have been hit by these last minute buyouts and then people have bitched that they never played anyone. Maybe this horrible blight on College Football is finally coming to an end as Texas Tech and UT realize they may have thrown a national championship away as a result of their schedule. Do not fall for Division 1AA crap-it is the worst development in College Football over the last 10 years. It leads to gross inequities like Nebraska playing 8 Home Games. It leads to the refusal of quality programs to play home and home series with non-BCS schools. It leads to really crappy BCS teams in bowls at 6-6. It leads to the control of more and more decent bowl games by BCS conference as any BCS team with a hearbeat going to a bowl because they played WhatsmatterU, North Dakota Tech, Texas Woman's College and Tarelton St. It leads to waking up on a Fall morning excited to watch College Football only to find 15 games on TV which no body gives a damn about watching.
I've just spent about an hour hearing "experts" talk about how OU's schedule "trumps" OU's 45-35 loss to UT and how OU schedule is likely to push OU over UT in the computer rankings this week with a win. The difference might just come down to victories over TCU and Big East Division Champ Cinncinnati. Tech would face the exact same situation-even worse-if they had simply a respectable loss against OU.
We are not in that position yet. FOr now we have to just get ot a bowl. That means 6 or 7 wins any way possible. After then we start trying to get cute with the schedule IMO.

Scheduling no-name teams including NTSU is no way to replace Mo. They need to figure out how to get another BCS team on the schedule. I have said this many times, nobody but a small select few has any interest in seeing SMU play the no-name teams. It would be one thing if our conference had any teams that generated any interest but it generally doesn't. Flat out - the conference is horrible. For most people, the only games anyone cared about this year were Tech and TCU. I heard it time and time again from fellow alums, that Tech and TCU were the only real games on the schedule and it was too bad that the adminstration doesn't realize that since our conference is so bad that they needed to have a good out of conference schedule to get people interested. Besides a small select few, wins over NTSU, Texas State or SFA are expected - not exciting.
