SMU: We all knew this was inevitable
- Thread starter Harvard Gamecock
- Start date
The very least you could have done is to state his name correctly.
With that said I'm at a loss as to what the point of your post is, in relation to SMU.
Bob McNair - Wikipedia
We had Bob McNair, the owner of the Houston Texans. and he has given millions to USC. I saw him honored on the field during a football game. I don't know how his remaining wife and son feel about donating for athletics.

Because she has never had any interest in donating to athletics. It's not a question really, even when she wasn't on the out, she didn't donate to the athletics department.
I suppose a total of $70 million is enough to ask of any person. It's fortunate that USC waited as long as they did to p!$$ her off - because they really p!$$ed her off, with finality. Your point about her being disinclined to donate to athletics is well taken.
Only if there were sustainability potential. Right now, we have it in WBB, which enjoys better notoriety now than baseball. We had sustainability in baseball, but we lost it utterly.
They might even buy a marching band.Wofford could be national champions in 2 years!
There was talk of “Mr Beast “ donating 100million to ECU to try and buy them a NC.Dont think it has happened as of yet but with the right money who knows.Wofford could be national champions in 2 years!
Arkansas is a real danger in the SEC.They have Billionaires as in Jerry Jones who would love to buy Ark a NC.Also the Walton family ,The Stephens family and Tyson.No shortage of money there.
You would think that. Yet I recently saw a video of a booster trying hard to squeeze NIL money out of their rank and file fans, because, according to him, Arkansas ain't keeping up. So far, there's no evidence to the contrary.
Ah, the good ol' days when recruits would post pictures of themselves holding up bundles of cash or their new cars.
Arkansas is generally very good in all sports outside of football. If money alone can buy a NC in football, Arkansas has alumni and fans with deep enough pockets to do it. I think one of their biggest challenges is that they are located next door to the HUGE money Texas and Oklahoma schools and have to recruit against them for talent in the area.
She may be a Clemson fan, but she has donated $75 million to us and $10 million to Clemson. The USC Board's lack of acknowledging Darla's mom's passing was total incompetence on their part.
True. But we could roll up at house on a daily basis, now down and thank her for the contributions, and she ain’t EVER giving money to our athletic department.
Her contributions to the Business School, etc. can free up other $$$ for athletics.
I don't think that is the way the university looks at money. If I give a million to the business school, they don't cut the business school's previous budget by a million so they can spend more on the education school. They make sure the new million finds a home in the business school in addition to the current budget.
And she ain't ever giving to Clemson's athletic department either. My point was, if she's a Clemson fan, why is she giving 90% of her contributions to Carolina and not Clemson?
Again, universities don't take money away from a school or department and move it to athletics because there is suddenly "freed up" money floating around with no home. All dollars find a home and generally stay at that home. If athletics wants more money, they have to go out and get some "new" money.
Also, no university president wants to be answering questions about why he allowed academic money to be diverted to athletics. The cap and gown crowd would be apoplectic if money was taken from academics in any way and moved to athletics. This is why almost all college athletic programs are operated by an athletic association that is an independent entity from the university.
Geographically desolate location near the Ozarks. (the meth capital of the country)
Makes sense as parts of Missouri were considered "meth country" long before "Breaking Bad."
And here I thought that was either Pelion or Gaston.
How close are they to the Ozarks? Maybe there's some overlap/suburbs confusion going on here.
Close enough for the spillover. I mean why wouldn't your market be a major college city just down the road?
