Southern METHODIST University is heavily funded by the Methodist Church.
SMU is also considered an "independent" so they don't have to abide by all the NCAA rules that other schools have to abide by.

Huh? SMU is owned by the United Methodist Church; isn't an independent but a member of Conference USA and the NCAA; and it sure would come as surprise to Mustang football fans that they don't have to abide by NCAA rules, since that body imposed the 'death penalty' on the program in 1986 for recruiting violations.
aloha,

Aloha Gene and thanks for helping Damon understand about the NCAA and what the Mustangs went through. I was out most of the day and didn’t get back until dinner time.
Furthermore if he thinks that 2 million is a drop in the bucket he has to remember that Jones is the 21st highest paid head coach in ALL the NCAA football. First year head coach with SMU and pulling down that type of money isn’t money well spent. He’s not in the WAC anymore.
