Agree

The crowd is the crowd. White, black or purple. Everyone is there for SMU and that is the POINt.

Morrison was as entertaining as Mason today. Very in depth description of what goes into the schemes on both sides. An educational one today. But, where was Wuba with the hard hitting question?

BS----Just saying and noticing...it is, or was like today, a room full of white, mostly older fans....is there a reason why brothers don't attend or are we not cool?....why don't we have ALL folks at the lunches. It IS a fund raiser by the way. I asked a few others at the table I was sitting at today and there IS a silent question.....no biggie, but there are a lot of people of color that have gone to SMU and we don't see them in proportion to the rest of us. Join us! Is IT wrong to ask? There are thousands of blacks that have gone to SMU through the years and SMU is STILL known as a rich private WHITE school....so why is it wrong to mention this?..its not racist, or is it?

Brothers? Really? You're a good dude, but OMG!!!

Its NOT funny and you don't know crap.... It's NOT right that we don't have support from brothers, blacks or people of color, or whatever, at fund raising events and not support the football program or SMU will always still be known as a rich white kids school. Lots of kids played at SMU and we all received the benefit of them playing and watching them play and they all also got the benefit of a full scholarship...we have no problem with all all, but to mention it ...is NOT good?.....BS.

Very poor word selection. Even if it is true that was absolutely the wrong way to address the issue, and a probable cause for it.

Really? Think about it man:

First off, people who have the freedom at the office AND the freedom in personal life to spend 2+ hours driving over, eating, listing, and chit chatting are going to be skewed to an older crowd. Then, consider this event is for hardcore fans. Also a much older crowd. So already you have to look at people who are 40+ years old. People who graduated 20+ years ago.

Now, today, (according to wikipedia, but sounds right) SMU is 21% minority enrollment. If you assume at least 50% of that is asian/indian/arab which I pulled out of my butt based on my experience there, that means only 10% black.

Now, go back 20+ years ago to the day of people in the room. I think it's common knowledge that as you go back in time fewer blacks were going to college, and of those fewer were able to go to a rich private school, and of those that were, were more likely to have encountered prejudice and thus less likely to go to an rich white private school. If you go back into the 60s blacks were negligable.

So, now you have a group of people where the % of black alumni is probably way less than 10% Just for [deleted] let's say 5% average for that age group. Having only a couple or even zero would not be unusual based on those numbers.
