Re: Rock StarAnother version had this at bottom...... Pony Excess, the final film in ESPN's "30 for 30" documentary series, will air at 8 tonight on ESPN. WHERE THEY ARE NOW Sherwood Blount: The most infamous of the 1980s-era SMU boosters. Blount is famous for telling university officials that payments to players had to continue even after repeated NCAA sanctions because they had a "payroll to meet." He is banned for life from the SMU program and declined to be interviewed for the documentary or any other SMU story over the years. Blount lives in the Dallas area and works in real estate. David Stanley: The former SMU football player went on camera with WFAA-TV's Dale Hansen in his November 1986 investigation that helped shut down the SMU program. Stanley admitted on air he had received $750 per month from SMU. Stanley battled drug addiction during his playing days and died in 2006. Bill Clements: The chair of SMU's powerful Board of Governors during the 1980s. He was twice elected governor, serving from 1979 to 1983 and 1987 to 1991. Weeks into his second term, Clements admitted he knew the school continued payments to players after multiple NCAA sanctions. He lives in University Park with his wife. Bobby Collins: SMU's football coach from 1982 to 1986. Collins resigned shortly after Hansen's report, denying he knew about any payments. Subsequent investigations determined he did. Collins never coached again after leaving SMU. Collins lives in Mississippi and declined to be interviewed for the documentary. • • •
Re: Rock Star
The story linked in the first post of this thread starts on the front page of Section A of the DMN paper edition and is continued inside along with the information quoted by SMU89 here. SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
