I’m looking long term.
The backers of SMU all live in Highland Park and in aggregate could buy half the state of Virginia.
That’s why they can afford 7 years of no revenue.
Recall they got the death penalty because these rich backers bought recruits to compete with UT.
Don’t let these people in …. They will crush us in the long term.

A little about SMU that’s not been mentioned…
