Agree with both, the sanctions are [deleted] and SMU should fight it no matter what. We are screwed anyway and it can't get worse than it is.

Absolutely. We have been on probation a half dozen times in the last 45 years. The only time the NCAA let up was when our program was completely moribund. All we had to do was show signs of life in basketball and they (NCAA) over reach again because they always have in the past and we always stand there and let the bullies be bullies. We are easy marks for the NCAA and it should stop.

We cheated and it is proven. Our only fault is hiring an in-house attorney instead of hiring a bull dog like Louisville just did.

I love the love they both showed in their conversation for SMU.

That would be your fearless (fearful) leader, RGT. There is no stomach at SMU to fight this on any front, other than to possibly appeal/plead Bryson's situation. Indeed, there is a reason why this whole matter has been handled in-house. We were always going to take this lying down.

We didn't cheat. We stole a Jolly Rancher from aisle three and then turned ourselves in to the store manager who sent us to prison. That's what's infuriating about all of this.

I imagine our inconsequential conversation with the NCAA in self-reporting went like this. Context be damned

Wrong. It can get worse. We appeal and lose. The process takes 18 months which kills 2 more recruiting classes with all of this lingering. Larry is then 80.

That's all very realistic and worse.

Yes, we are going to have top 20 recruiting classes if we do not appeal (sarcasm). The best chance SMU might ever have to win the NCAA tournament is this year. We need to do everything we can to get this team to tournament this season.
