SMU has hired Adia Barnes has head coach of its women’s basketball team.  They are very serious about every facet of their athletic program . Money will not be a limiter. ACC may rue the day they let these guys in.

Yeah. these Texas teams seem to have a big desire to excel in the major sports and a lot of the $$$$ to back it up, which is what it takes in this brave new world of college athletics. Expect them to do very well.

Yep, I echo what the 2 of you are saying, with just 1 addition/slight modification:

If you are the ACC (with SMU) or Big12 (with TexasTech) ...this is EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT !

As a Conference, you Want member Universities to Go ALL IN (MoneySpending. NIL, Facilities, etc wise) ...on the HighVisibleSports & To Create Top15 Type Programs in those 'Highly Visible, Highly Watched Sports' !

If SMU starts winning in Football & MensBasketball and becomes a Perennial Top15 Football & MensBasketball Program...that is GREAT for the ACC !

I think what the ACC Conference Office will not like, is members who dont GO ALL IN $$$,$$$,$$$ on these Highly Visible Sports , & who languish in these Highly Visible Sports with perennial Losing or NonMajorPostseason type seasons !!
