I don't think they were necessarily out bidding everyone else.

wow.
Did y'all even watch the show? SMU got the death penalty because they got caught, put on probation, and continued doing the same things. Then they got caught again, tried to cover it up, and received the death penalty under the repeat offender's clause in the NCAA rule books.
Also, almost every school in the SWC was under probation at one point or another. They received the same penalties SMU did for their first probation. The difference is, they weren't caught again later that year doing the exact same things.
And yes, SMU absolutely was outbidding everyone else. They were the richest of the rich back then. Dallas was booming (understatement) and their donors were paying more than anyone else. Again, did y'all not watch the actual show?

Of course everyone else in the country was cheating, too. Especially the SWC. But not to the extent or as brazenly as SMU was.

And yes, watched every bit of it. I still think they were all doing it to the same extent.
SMU just got the short straw.

I understand that. Facts state otherwise, though.

Sully just likes to throw crap against the wall and hope it sticks.
The entire first 30 minutes of the show was about SMU outbidding everyone else and didn't care who knew about it.

I have no idea what I said that is different from what you wrote? I just said everyone was doing it and didn't want to go into detail about everything in case Framp didn't want to know before he watched it. Sincerely, Confused |

I was speaking to those who thought SMU was a scape goat when in fact the opposite is true.

Have a buddy that was a walk on at SMU from 78 to 82. He said the 30 for 30 show went easy on SMU. The cash and cars were minor compared to the drugs and women that were provided for star players.
Good point by Fischer about not every team being on probation.
