In December 2023, the Florida State University Board of Trustees filed a legal complaint against the ACC
Part of the complaint stated that adding SMU would diminish the ACC's football media profile and undermine its strength of schedule
SMU is 2-0 vs. Florida State since joining the ACC
“The Big Ten or SEC will definitely take Florida State we just have to pick which conference we like more.”
Can’t even afford to keep the lights on.
Poverty program.
It wasn’t fair for the players. But CFB was better when:
There were regional conference
Transferring meant you sit out a year
No NIL
It just was. Peak CFB was 1990-2019.
Been downhill since.
SMU hasn’t lost a regular season game to a conference opponent since November 17th, 2022.
2023: 8-0 in American play
2024: 8-0 in ACC play
2025: 3-0 in ACC play
Unreal run.
To all of the SMU fans who walked thru the Valley with us last night - it was so good to hear you before, during and after the game:
“SMU!SMU!SMU!SMU!”
Thank you!
Pre 2024 if you told me in the future seasons SMU student section would be sold out for an fcs opponent I would have called you a dirty liar. #smallwins
