[QUOTE="CEB, post: 954520, member: 4905"] Honestly, I think SMU took away any gumption the NCAA had for difficult enforcement decisions. I didn’t pay attention in real time... I was too young when it started and not interested in the fallout as a teenager. Learning how it all went down after the fact, I think that situation was always in the back of NCAA minds. SMU wasn’t a big deal prior to the 80’s. They started the unapologetic pay for play scheme, rocketed to the top of football, then disappeared into obscurity for decades after the penalties. They were certainly worse off and nearly quit football altogether, but In a way, they ended up back where they started... Still, the NCAA was fearful ever since that enforcing real penalties might do long term damage to an actual college football power, and they set about enforcing a bunch of ticky tac garbage instead. Vacated wins and scholarship limits don’t hurt factories... and they know that... not that the NCAA has been hellbent on enforcing anything against the factories anyway. [/QUOTE]
