has it really been ten years?

[Big Frog II]

for the record 27 schools have been eligible for the dp since smu. alabama was without question the most deserving but since they are a member of the cartel they got away with a slap on the wrist.

This is something that I am totally in agreement with the SMU fans. Why have the other schools not received the death penalty. Why have the other schools not been punished as much as TCU? I wrote the NCAA two letters asking why did A&M and Alabama get off with wrist slaps and TCU and SMU got hammered? I received a nice form letter. The bottom line is the NCAA makes a ton of money off the A&Ms and Alabamas of the world. It is obvious they can play favorites. Look at USC. How long are they going to sit on the Reggie Bush deal? Now the basketball program has been caught "paying" players. Think they'll get the "death penalty", never. Let's face it, the big name schools will continue to get away with murder while the small private or lesser known state schools will get hammered.

arizona st is now tied with smu.

a&m and ut were also each up to their eyeballs. i like how ut holds itself up as holier than thou though.

SMU calling TCU dirty is like Hitler calling Manson a mass murderer.

Soooo...being Manson would be better than being Hitler. They were both despicable murders of the worst kind. Kettle meet pot. We cheated...you cheated. Don't try and get all sanctimonious on us. I just think it looked rather suspicious that a college basketball player had a custom Chevy Suburban. Not saying anything happened...just suspicious.

Actually, our continued pattern of conduct back then, taken as a whole, was much more egregious than anything TCU ever did. Which is why we got the death penalty.

Hey, all sinners wind up in Hell. I don't think you get points for being less egregious.

As anyone who read Dante (or was a fan of Big Trouble in Little China) knows, not all hells are the same. Death penalty hell is reserved for us alone.

So you think murdering 3 people is just as bad as murdering 6 million? Glad I now know what an SMU education will get you.

[jtstang]

No, like you we thnk murdering only 3 people is just fine and probably should be a probationary misdemeanor at worst. Glad to know what a TCU education will get you.

I'm sure the family and friends of those three murder victims feel much better now knowing that Hitler with lots of help from others managed to killed so many more and therefore is a much worse person than Manson.

They werent "paying players" at U$C they were paying their handlers and family.

And the NCAA punished Alabama State severely for USC's "alleged" lack of institutional control!

In 1958 the pay for play was so bad in the West Coast Conference -what is now the PAC10- that the conference disbanded at the end of the season USC, UCLA , Cal and Stanford were the main offenders. No players were sanctioned and no school were sanctioned. But the payment system was down to a fine art.
