I think SMU is "iconic" in the sense that its campus is less than 30 miles from AT&T Stadium. Having a local team helps get butts in the seat, I imagine.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
