Maybe the SMU faculty would have a different view toward sports if some of the hard cases we hear about had an expectation of going on bowl trips, huh?

Funny thing, Vanderbilt got $2.3 Million for that title game as well. Hope they wrote a thank you card to Auburn. WSU got $2.3 Million for that title game as well. Go figure.

The way I understand the article is that the overage of $600,000 has to do with their EXPENSE budget provided by the SEC. It does not include their share of the BCS money! I think SMU would probably come up with an extra $600,000 and not complain one bit if they were national champions and receiving a participants share of $20,00,000! In fact, I think a generous donor came up with $300,000 plus so the cheerleaders and band could go to the Hawaii Bowl. Don't forget their share of Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Arkansas and any other bowl revenue. They come out big-time!
