Well at least June went through proper channels.

Great job by twitter man.

After the instability shown today, we (the school) must show stability and commitment publicly, even if we don't mean it. We have to for the recruits.

Orsini:Cited ucf game poor turnout for june's displeasure

Orsini: "there's some damage we have to take care of, and we will"

Orsini: not worried about coach controversy affecting team morale, but am worried about it affecting fan turnout

Orsini: If we did have to find a new coach "We're in a much better place to find a new coach"

Orsini: "It's a great place at SMU and if he (June) doesn't want to be here, then so be it"

Orsini: June didn't get more money to stay at SMU "I said to him, this is your legacy" "I do think he knows what he has"

Orsini: conservative estimate for new BE TV deal is $10M/year. But could get as high as $15-$20M per year

Orsini: BE schools get $8 mil per year. CUSA schools get $1 million. (TV rights). BE has 6 tv consultants

Orsini: BE will boost recruiting w/ students in the northeast. And conf. will have students in other markets will SMU traditionally recruits

Orsini: BE represents twice as many TV market households than any other conference

Orsini: Natl exposure and branding BE brings to SMU "will be exponential"

Orsini: "he went and looked, and apparently our grass is looking pretty good"

Orsini: "I think it's good to go look and see if that grass is really greener"

Orsini: "Coach Jones knows we have all the support for him."

Orsini: (June) "He was very open and very honest as he always is. I think we're going to see a recommitted and refocused head coach"

Orsini: "He was courted and I am happy to say he is going to be our coach and I'm real happy to say that"..."Our leader is still in place"

Orsini: June "had my permission" to talk to ASU

Orsini: "it's only gonna take us a short time to get very competitive in the best basketball tournament in the country"

Gerald Ford: June's gonna be the coach. He wanted to go to ASU, "I'm just glad it didn't work out"

His latest...

Orsini:Cited ucf game poor turnout for june's displeasure


It amazes me how much June is worried about attendance. How does he not realize that for the previous 20 years, SMU had the worst program in America.

3 AVERAGE seasons does not bring back a fan base. And complaining about it on twitter, or having your players do it in the campus newspaper, doesn't help a single ounce.

What a baby! Unbelievable. That is an aboslute red herring. Maybe if he showed support for Dallas instead of worrying about helping Hawaii more people might get interested.

He needs to worry less about what's going on in the stands and more about the product on the field....

Or if he was able to produce an explosive, high-powered offense...

That quote about ucf lends credibility to the theory that he stopped caring post-ucf and it rubbed off on the team.

Some of you have simply deluded yourself that our pathetic attendance is not a major barrier in building this program. You can't even have recruits visit a home game without turning them off. Russ Potts' success came before Ron Meyer's success. It is essential that we stop making excuses and have a concrete plan to address this problem. We start out with season attendance 50% below the attendance of the next lowest in the Big East.
"With a quarter of a tank of gas, we can get everything we need right here in DFW." -SMU Head Coach Chad Morris

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.
