Hey everyone! Dropped the Pony Sports DTX website last night. If you want to get involved in the NIL game check it out and contact us. The time to get involved is now! 🐎🔴🔵
Here is the “big program” scheduling TCU was referencing by pausing with SMU to bring in Arkansas State. Ark St hasn’t won more than 4 games since 2019 and is 0-2 this season being outscored 110-3.
As we all knew, TCU doesn’t want to play good opponents they want a cupcake win.
REPORT: TCU Football to host Arkansas State in 2026. The Horned Frogs last played the Red Wolves in 2000 as LaDainian Tomlinson ran for 140 yards and 2 TDs in a TCU win
WE’RE BACK!! It’s early in 2025 recruiting rankings but SMU already has 4 4-star commits giving them the

SMU has the No. 14 transfer class in the nation (No. 1 in AAC) according to
@247SportsPortal
rankings and that is with only 4 of its 9 commits being ranked/evaluated so far. 🤯🤯 Just waiting on the others
@247recruiting
SMU has an elite 2023 transfer class moving back up to No. 6 in the nation after its most recent lands (best in Texas)! Class is headlined by two 4-star transfers from A&M in LJ Johnson (91 RB) & PJ Williams (91 OT). SMU has 4 other players ranked right below 4-star status at 89.
“This deal by the Boulevard Collective, in combination with our efforts, signifies the elite commitment to SMU student-athletes and their name, image and likeness on a yearly basis,” said a Pony Sports DTX managing member. “Ready or not, the Pony Express 2.0 is coming.”
"Ready or not, the Pony Express 2.0 is coming."
SMU's new collective endeavor rivals or surpasses some in the Power 5, with at least $36,000 for every football player.
Some notes following SMU practice (part 1):
- Buy stock in UT transfer WR Moochie Dixon ASAP
- Rashee Rice looks poised for monster year.
- KU transfer RB Velton Gardner is an explosive option out of the deep SMU backfield. He flashed several times today.

Also lol SMU.
Best season in 40 years and you got doubled up by a TCU team that didn’t even make a bowl game and got left out of the NY6 for Liberty. I almost feel badly for them.
