There was criticism that SMU "bought" their way into the ACC, but it appears that not only is the athletic program barely generating incoming revenue and/or profits, but they are also expected to receive approximately 12 million from the ACC.

The finals at SMU were postponed due to an apparent cyberattack. Canvas, the system that many schools use, was disrupted, and final exams for some SMU students were rescheduled.
It’s National Decision Day 💙 ❤️

NEWS: Chance Puryear (@chance_puryear) will transfer to Indiana State, he tells @TheAthleticCBB
— Tobias Bass (@tobias_bass) May 8, 2026
He played in 14 games last season at SMU
He's a name to watch for next season, love this get for Indiana State pic.twitter.com/VYGshtOOLz
Players from SMU's basketball announced where they have transferred to, as Chance Puryear announced that he will be playing basketball at Indiana State and BJ Davis-Ray to Northern Kentucky.
The month of May is considered a "downtime" for those who follow college sports. With SMU not having a baseball or softball team, many Mustangs fans are taking a "sports" break after following various teams, such as the football and basketball teams, from September to March. However, that doesn't mean SMU fans can't still read and follow Mustangs athletics this month, as it technically is not a downtime for collegiate sports.
Follow the SMU women's golf team as they have a realistic chance to capture a national title this year or the SMU track team as they compete in the ACC Outdoor Championships. Collegiate sporting events are still going on.
