Is a Phil Knight. Oregon is where they are today because of him. Same thing with Oklahoma state and Boone Pickens. And I bet Maryland will get there with the under armor guy. So the real question here is why can't SMU produce a billionaire alum who only wants to spend money on making SMU a national power. Whose pov is.....I can give the money to SMU or give it to the Government. If any school in the county is can produce a rich guy who does not want to pay taxes and has so much money that all he wants to spend it on is football.......I mean who better to produce such a person than SMU? The naughty nine had it wrong......don't pay the players, pay the program.

SMU's problem is not Money-the problem is lack of Fans. We tried to buy fans before and it doesn't work. Its is a uniquely SMU solution to a persistent problem though-let's throw money at a problem because our fans are too busy to support the program unless we finish 10-2* every year or because we don't like the Coach.

we have already tried not throwing money at it. How did that work for us?

But, didn't we have Lawrence Herkimer. Rah, rah, rah. Didn't he bring fame, fortune, and fans to SMU ?
