Conference Invitations
Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2011 5:03 pmAll the speculation of SMU drifting around the edges really irks me. The NCAA needs to grow a pair somehow. The first thing they need to do with SMU is have a AQ conference extend an invite. Frankly they owe it to SMU. Ever since the DP I have traveled around the country and hear from all types of college football fans how SMU got screwed. Literally ever little college program has been protected by their fans and local worship media. I keep hearing from programs how they were "way worse" than SMU. Every one was playing by the same set of rules, no matter what they profess. The reason for the events, severe jealousy, success and SMU having a 'non compliant media" market. Consequently we became a sacrificial lamb to be made an example of while even worse offenders chuckled and laid low for a minute in the shadows. There were and still are huge offenders. All throughout the SEC, Nebraska, Texas and any university in a college town environment. What was called the "Earl Campbell rule". The one where the player can no longer sell his alloted tickets for $2K per seat per game (did UT get trouble for that?). All the cars, false jobs, apartments, payroll, get out of jail free cards, you name it. Al those BasZZZZerds owe something to SMU for being thrown on the sword. At a minimum an invite to an AQ. At a maximum a check for all the revenue lost over the years, an apology and AQ status.
Yeah I am still PO'd especially when we look like we are hunting for crumbs.
