Surely someone around Bush has a friend in the CIA who can make these guys quietly disappear.

So you want to call it the "Crappy old SOB, idiotic, time and money wasting, money grubbing, egotistical, lame brained indoor practice facility"?

Let Baylor have it. Closer to his ranch. Maybe it'll keep him out of Dallas.

I say screw these guys and get it back in court. How is not telling someone what you plan to do with the property after you buy it committing fraud...which seems to be a big part of their suit. It's not the seller's business. You negotiate your best deal and that is that. At the time SMU was buying up those condos there was no guarantee that SMU was going to be chosen as the site for the library. As it turned out the condo site is not being used for the library, but SMU always wanted that property anyway to prevent some commercial developer from cutting SMU off from Central Expw. These greedy blood suckers need to go back to court and lose...IMHO. :)
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.

Those of you who continue to think this is a "can't lose" lawsuit for SMU have your heads buried.

Not at all, just saying that there was a reason the case settled in the first place, that being that somebody for SMU thought there was an exposure.
