SMU football: will Mustangs win ACC more than once before 2038?

You’re assuming the ACC will still be viable and a conference in 2038

Sure. If Pitt can do it they can too.

Why 2038

Hope they enjoy those zero dollar annual TV payouts until the ACC dissolves.

Yes because there will be no FSU or Clemson.

SMU hasn’t won any conference since the Death Penalty.

They’ll fizzle out this year too in a watered down AAC.

SMU’s last conference title had to be in the 80s.

That was also when they were ranked consistently in the top 5 and the winningest program in the country over a 3 year stretch.

So it’s fallacy to think it’s not possible. They have more financial and administrative support behind them than Miami and recruit from a similarly large talent pool.

the day after the announced moving to the ACC the raised 100million for the football program. SMU doesn't need TV payouts.

That’s when you know you have too much money

But then again the Cowboys aren’t available so they have to take what they can get

SMU is on generation 3 of billionaires that have went to school there. They had a million dollar payroll in the 80's for that program. it's legal now so look out.
