I was outspoken in my displeasure with the return on investment earlier in the year. I was supportive of those who withdrew their GC support after the LSU game, and I was critical of the coaches after lackluster performances against Kentucky and LSU.
It took longer than it should've, but it appears they have this team dialed in now. Not a bunch of talented individuals, but a true team. I'd be willing to put this group up against anyone in America with the way they're playing at this point.
I say all that to say, the SMU model does appear to work. We may have very well bought our way into the playoffs, and you can bet support is/will be on fire going forward into portal season if we make the playoffs.
