The SMU Mustangs have been making big strides towards revitalizing their athletics programs in the past year. They have completely overhauled their basketball program and have hired new head coach Larry Brown in an attempt to make an impact on the national scene. The football team -- which famously received the "death penalty" by the NCAA in 1987 -- is on the verge of moving to the Big East. It appears that with these new and important changes, the school will also be doing some housecleaning in its front office.
