If you want to compete for national titles and top 15 finishes in college football, you have to be willing to win at all costs and that includes doing some pretty nasty things. Baylor is just the most recent example of this. SMU is never going to commit to winning at all costs and given our history, that is probably a good thing. If you think that a school can win at a high level without doing these things, you are pretty naive. Graduate the players, recruit good kids, run a clean program and try to win a few games in the process is the motto for SMU football. Have Hart and or Turner ever said their goal for the football program is to go to major bowls and compete for national titles?

If that's the way you feel, why are you even here? There would be better ways I could spend my time than on here if I had such a loser mentality

Wanna bet?
Hart just came out publicly and said SMU has no interest in the P5, and this episode just gave them another great excuse to stay the course, rather than go 'all in' to chase the P5 dream.
Show us where Hart said that. And where JJ touched you.

As a matter of fact, they have. Do you have evidence to the contrary?

Would love to see a quote where they said that. I'm seriously not trying to be adversarial, I'm curious where that was said? And if that is what their goal is, I would say in the 21 years Turner has been president of the university, he seems to be failing at said goal. So then can we agree that he and the adminstration are failing at their goal or that maybe that is not their goal?

Turner's goal is to keep big $$$ folks happy. Those folks didn't get serious about competing in football until 2008. Someone mentioned here awhile back that RGT diverted funds from academic programs to get Ford Stadium built (much to the chagrin of some faculty members). If he didn't think having a competitive football team was important, would he have done that???
