It was closer to 4,442 than 14,442 actually there. I do not for the world see why the Big East thinks SMU adds value. They absolutely bring no viewers to a future TV contract. They seem to be just filling spaces. Would bring much more value by adding ECU or So. Miss.
P.S. Case in point about SMU's attendance problems. Last year for the Armed Forces Bowl, played at SMU while Amon Carter is being rebuilt, they had to have a huge push at the end to sell their 10,000 seat allotment in their own stadium.
