Another Example of Alumni as the Problem

USA Today had a Q&A with SMU alum and CEO Of Virgin America David Cush. He has a favorite college football team, and it's not SMU...
The Shreveport, La.-native is a graduate of Southern Methodist University- yet a giant Louisiana State University football fan.
Off topic, it's an interesting Q&A considering what has happened in the past 24-hours.

It sucks. I wish he took notice, but thats what happens when you are in CUSA. Hopefully we can make an impact 2012 and 2013... Beating Big 12 teams would be a major boost. I couldnt find his graduating year, but I imagine it was Post DP and I doubt he graduated around 2009. Hes also from the area around LSU. So all of this is not surprising, but sad.

Graduated in 1982, and I think he has a SMU MBA as well.

Wow, yeah no excuse then. Our team back then could kill LSU.

He's just name dropping a front runner to sound like he's actually a football fan and not a complete F-ing tool

Craig is back in good graces for the nice things he did when SMU started making its BCS push.
Dunno what the deal is with this ceo. He graduated in the prime of the Pony Express! sigh...

Probably had to since it had such a negative image, and he wouldnt be able to get the job if he was supporting them. Now we are making progress, he can push our name.
