What people close to the program don't think SMU is a fit.
Their President and key donors clearly know they are.
Seriously- name a few at SMU who are informing you to the contrary, "dude".
SMU has an endowment that is roughly 6 times that of SDSU. It has donors, like UO, who can simply write a check and build a new facility.
In other words, it has the resources to respond quickly to a pivot back to big time football, which it played until the SWC disbanded. SDSU simply does not.
SMU not only has deep pockets, it has an astounding array of wealthy alumni.
Oh, and while I did not support George Bush as a politician, the guy is very supportive of SMU and had the muscle to raise $500 million for his beautiful Presidential Library on the SMU campus.
I have nothing against SDSU-but it lacks the resources and connections to jump into the deep end.
I doubt SMU will get an invite-
My only thought- having lived in SMU's shadow since leaving Oregon for Dallas in 1985, is that it is an astoundingly impressive institution with deep pockets and generous donors who repeatedly step up to the plate.
