Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 4726231, member: 1609"] Old time football fans will recall SMU was a power in the old Serah Williams football conference.. Booster payments to players cost them suspensions and scholarships and very nearly a NCAA death sentence Because after they were caught paying one or two players , they decided to continue to pay the other players to buy their silence .They were caught again . When they resumed playing a depleted squad mostly walk on’s their first win was against Div 1AA UConn. A game I unfortunately watched . So when the merger with the Big 8 came they were so weak that ESPN dictated , they along with Houston , Rice , and TCU be left behind so it became the B12 . They only wanted 4 Texas schools . So it’s remains at 4 today . Ironically what their program was destroyed for is widely done . [/QUOTE]
