UNIVERSITY PARK — Not long after making his debut as SMU’s football coach, Chad Morris discovered a motivational tool in the archives: North Texas 43, SMU 6.

Although Morris was busy with his gig as Clemson’s offensive coordinator last year, he watched the video of that humiliation while devising plans for Saturday’s rematch against North Texas at Ford Stadium.

“I didn’t live it, but I watched it and it was not good,” Morris said Tuesday.

Spoiler alert: North Texas dominated the Mustangs in every phase. SMU surrendered five turnovers, lost its starting quarterback for the season and coach June Jones forever.

Wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who redshirted last season, was struck by his team’s passionless performance.

“I was on the sideline and watching the energy that they [North Texas] had, the drive they had to want to beat us so bad and to see some of my teammates not have that killer instinct that I saw in North Texas,” said Sutton, who caught two touchdown passes last week. “They beat us pretty good. I really think we need to bring the energy that they brought last year so we can match it.”

      I can't blame them, the system in place allows them to profit and to move freely. We may not like it, but it's the system. I'm hoping schools taking over the collectives, it's already happening for reasons I stated above, will usher in contracts and buy outs for players. We've opened Pandora's box so we aren't going back to amateur sports, the best we can get out of it is payment on our investments.

      Agree, there was some semblance of programs doing the right thing and following the rules even though they were always getting busted for violations, and everyone knew cheating was going on. It's why I was saying the veil is off now, and making everyone play by those rules has supercharged the whole thing. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the schools aren't supposed to work with NIL collectives to get players right? But everyone including UNT is 100% working with these collectives to send out deals to players. Same kind of fake rule following like we used to have, just more of it now.

      I’m not the type who’s going to say, “I’m done with college sports” and that be it. I’m moreso the guy whose interest is just going to wane to the point that I don’t watch anymore. It would actually free up a lot of time that I could be more productive🤣🤣
