SMU ready to Pony Up into the ACC

SMU will celebrate in a big way on Monday, July 1, as the University becomes an official member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). All 18 costumed mascots from ACC member teams will join the revelry, punctuated by a big public party from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at The Happiest Hour, 2616 Olive St. in the Harwood District, followed by the lighting up of the downtown Dallas skyline in SMU colors at 7:30 p.m. Alumni, friends and fans are encouraged to wear their favorite red and blue and join the party. SMU is riding a surge of momentum into the ACC, having won a school record of eight championships during the 2023-24 season. Tickets for SMU/ACC events are available at smumustangs.evenue.net/list/ATHLETICS. — Kim Cobb
