Speaking of accreditation, have you looked at SMU's Journalism and Education programs lately?
Do you guys just sit here and wait for us to say something about you?

Football brings the visability and PR necessary to attract the interest of more academically high quality students. These student raise the academic quality of the school. Hence, not a bad topic on the football board.

"Sucks"??

An area of expertise for which SMU has become so well known. After all,

who could possibly challenge the athletic endeavors of an entire program

whose lengthy familiarity with underachievement has now become a byword?

Oh, and best of luck with that "rowing"....thingamajig :wink:

A definite lack of rebuttal to the fact that the SMU athletics

have regressed to a point of being virtually inconsequential.

Definition of "Sucks": See SMU's football recruitment efforts.

October 1, we'll be waiting. :wink:
