Best line of the entire article...

When folks found out David Stanley was paid $25,000 as a signing bonus and earned a weekly salary of $750—two items that, when you write them down for what they were and don’t couch it in the language the NCAA would like you to, sound, actually, like reasonable compensation—fans, the university, and the NCAA acted as if the school and its administration were guilty of ignoring years of sexual assaults or had attempted to cover up a pay-for-play scandal by sullying a dead player’s name (sidenote: pretty amazing that Baylor’s still allowed to compete in Division I sports, huh!)

SMU has no more excuses regarding the death penalty and this article confirms it. People are now on the lookout for SMU to come back to the big stage again.
This has to be the year SMU turns the tide.
