    Man, you know this city doesn't care about SMU. I doubt this changes much in that regard unless SMU just starts tearing up the ACC. 

    I'm happy for all the alumni of other schools who now get to play SMU in Dallas.  I'm assuming Stanford and SMU will be in the same western division, so those football and basketball games will be fun.

    Plus, SMU easy to hate.  Not as easy to hate as USC, but it will do.

    They looked down on the Big 12 schools.

    They made some BIG errors getting themselves in this situation. You have no idea what last minute moves they may have made, and whether those included them going to the Big12 with hat in hand.

    I'm fine with a general "Stanford fucked itself" statement.  We will probably learn more about the specifics in the coming weeks.

    It also made no sense from the Cal/Stanford viewpoint.  They really should have been begging the Big 12 and pointing out to ESPN that they would have to pay for 100%, not just 67% in the Big 12, if they went to the ACC.

    You seem like you know everything about what Cal/Stanford did to try to survive.  Tell us more.

    Seriously, travel for Cal and Stanford’s non Football sports is going to be awful. Not sure Cal could afford all their current sports now depending on the reduced payout. Bye bye baseball.

    It's seriously dumb.  With Stanford on the quarter system, my thoughts are that they should just establish a small satellite campus in Dallas/Houston-- something like the Cooper Center -- and just house the football team from there.  Recruiting inroads in Texas, distance learning best practices - profit.

    Seems like 2 different shit sandwiches.  At least the MWC is more regional, not that that makes any difference these days.

    I love you man, and I know Stanford made it's bed, but you and any USC folks need to just hush up.  Jealous as fuck.

    I miss when we mattered.

    May, I always wished beanies had been forced upon us as freshmen.

    But I don't think their ego will allow that.

    Um, they have been begging for a couple of weeks now.  They may be trying to structure a clever deal but I think the ego has been put aside until they get a deal done.
