SMU looking for an AD….

[Longhornmd]

It doesn’t make sense to leave a small private school to go to a larger school like Texas which has one of the biggest Athletic departments and relatively unlimited resources. SMU had to buy their way into the ACC.  
 

How big can SMU’s budget be when you factor in the deal they made to get into the ACC vs. traveling cost, facility upgrades, coaches etc. Don’t forget NIL deals and possible revenue sharing deal.  More of a headache.

At Texas you are played well and no shortage of financial means.  Boosters and fans can be a problem at any school so that shouldn’t be any issues.

Your assumption is not true.   Hartzell left because he got paid tons more to be at SMU.   
 

Well and it has to be a whole hell of a lot easier to be a president at a private school.

All other factors equal, I would agree

Agree.   Can’t see any logical reason especially now that UT football has built so much momentum and is set to go on a run the next 5 yrs.   
 

Also, have you been to SMU’s stadium?   Holds 32000.   
 

 

Yes it’s perfect for a school that size, in that area to have an on campus stadium.  It’s much better than what Tech or TCU have.  On par with Mclane in Waco.

LFG!  From the man himself.  He knows he has unfinished business in football and has to right the wrong on the one stain on his UT AD legacy in men’s basketball.
