Wouldn't think you could get more than 10-12k when you fill in the horseshoe (total capacity b/w 42-44k), but I am not a stadium expert.

Expanding Ford to 50K right now is stupid. We can't even come close to selling out with what we have now. The Indoor Practice Facility needed to happen yesterday though. We are not truly trying to be Top 25 if we don't have one.
Back off Warchild seriously.

I really cant see expanding the stadium as a part of this current drama
Yeah it may be something we can do later....
but hell how could that be an issue now when we are not close to filling Ford for most games now?
other issues are heating this kettle

Agree. When Mr. Agent-man mentions facilities, he has to be talking about the indoor facility.

Well, according to JJ, SMU tuition costs $60,000 per semester. Per this page, SMU costs $16,520.

Therefore, in June-speak, 1 is equal to approximately .275, and 50,000 is 13,750

Again not one of you are able to articulate the slightest scintilla of evidence what you are talking about. Make the case Big Boy-the floor is yours-what the hell are you talking about with regard to "admission process"


Evidence? This is not a courtroom Stallion, and are you not able to see that there are some issues? There are people on this board that are very aware, but for the good of SMU and your dismay, are best not discussed on a message board at this moment. The only thing you know, is what's available to the public to read from your SMU alerts. Don't get me wrong, we appreciate all of the research that you do, most people don't have the time that you do, or else not willing to be glued to a computer around the clock to present "evidence" on every subject.

Guys, this is just an agent using his client's leverage to get more juice for his client.

It's the same old story. Another school shows interest in School X's coach, so School X sweetens the coach's deal to keep him from wandering. It doesn't always mean more $$$ for the coach. It could mean other demands, like facilities and policies.

If the school responds to the demands, everyone's happy. If the school thinks it's a bluff, then if said coach leaves, he can always say, "They didn't do the things I asked for" to deflect attention from the fact he left for more money.
