Nichols isn't even a state!

Nichols isn't even a state!
I still like the idea that schedules are based on prior year records. So the beginning SOS is as neutral as possible. Of course you might miss a team for several years in a row.
Uh, you know what happened to the person who is credited with having said "Let them eat cake" don't you?As for SMU...."Let Them Eat Cake"
Agreed & if we replace SMU we’re just going to get FCS or SWAC. We won’t get a big name P5 team at home, those always seem to get moved to Jerry World anyway.I am very tried of FCS games, especially those few people know or care about. I mean Nichols really?
Of course he does. Will still be their super bowl whether they ever make it to the PAC or not.SMU’s Rhett Lashlee wants SMU-TCU rivalry to remain, even if college landscape changes
Story by Greg Riddle, The Dallas Morning News
TCU has a bigger endowment than smu and has for a very long time!!!What little I know about the financial side of college football I've mostly learned on this forum (that's how credible I am). I suspect that in modern, post-SWC times, year-in year-out the TCU football game is SMU's most profitable athletic venture. They, or some of their alums/fans anyway, will tell you in a hurry how rich SMU is, and how that makes them better than, well, everyone else (but particularly TCU).

smu $1,958,459,591
TCU $2.4 billion endowment
LOL, I was actually going to make that pointyou know what they say about people who argue over the size of their endowments
Name checks out...Nice work genius. I'm talking about when we played them every year. Try and keep up.
But what about attendance smack?you know what they say about people who argue over the size of their endowments
That's what she said!TCU has a bigger endowment than smu and has for a very long time!!!

It’s “try to”….Nice work genius. I'm talking about when we played them every year. Try and keep up.
Thank God you put that /sarcasm on there, I wasn't sure for a bit...I don't get why we're even discussing whether to continue playing SMU. Why the heck wouldn't we want to play every other year in a tinker-toy stadium with a concrete facade that is always unprepared for game-day operations, in a contest that our players see as "just another game," but our opponents treat as their Super Bowl -- and is definitely the highest-revenue game of their season, when we could have used that date to schedule our own home game and added to our bottom line?
Seems like a slam-dunk to me.

With more teams making the playoff in 2024 it will be interesting to see the effect on scheduling. Either teams won't be a afraid of scheduling good opponents because you can still make the playoff with say less than 10 wins. Or teams will soften their schedules because all you have to do is win your conference and non-con won't matter as much.I don't get why we're even discussing whether to continue playing SMU.

Yes but if they do end up in the PAC, it's a P5 opponent in the Metroplex that will need to upgrade their ops, will no longer consider our game their Super Bowl, and looks a lot better on the schedule than Tarleton St.I don't get why we're even discussing whether to continue playing SMU.
