SMU’s Rhett Lashlee wants SMU-TCU rivalry to remain, even if college landscape changes

Lashlee said the matchup is good for Texas football.

SMU football coach Rhett Lashlee was asked if he would like for SMU to continue its rivalry with TCU, especially with talk about SMU possibly joining the Pac-12 at some point and the potential for fewer nonconference games being available down the road with college realignment and an expanded playoff system.

“We’ve got a couple of more years on the current deal,” Lashlee said. “The game has been played over 100 years. I don’t know why we wouldn’t play We are always willing to play them.

“I think it’s good for Texas football, I think it’s good for the Dallas Metroplex to have Dallas’ team and Fort Worth’s team playing.”
