Nobody is circling a petition to bring back the Southwest Conference.
But fans better get used to Baylor playing SMU because they’re starting a five-year contract with Sunday’s 5:30 p.m. game at Floyd Casey Stadium.
Since the universities are less than two hours apart and have a long history in the SWC, it makes a lot of sense to re-establish the rivalry. SMU leads the series 36-35 with seven ties, so that speaks volumes about how close the rivalry has been over the years.
