- Southern Methodist University once had the best football team "money could buy." Here's a trailer that looks into the huge scandal that ultimately led to a death penalty sentence for SMU's football team.... Read the full story at www.pegasusnews...
Here is the trailer for the ESPN documentary series 30 for 30, Pony Excess. The show, to air for the first time on television on December 11, features Southern Methodist University, the first school to be given the NCAA death penalty for paying their players. Posted by StoneyCrookRecords on UA-cam.
The decision to give SMU the death penalty is still haunting the NCAA.
Especially as the NCAA failed to act against Penn State and Baylor.
Or Alabama
The regret over giving SMU the death penalty is why they didn't do the same to Penn State and Baylor.
Michigan State as well.
@@bertmustinIt was a bit excessive. It basically destroyed the SWC.
Miami
Props to Eric Dickerson and others who have never turned on their University’s for the help they received.
30 for 30 is so amazing
Great documentary. I lived in Dallas during all of this, and the attitude was, "we don't give a hoot about rules. We're Dallas". Pressed their luck too many times. Busted.
College football would be so different had SMU hadn't got the death penalty... they would've been a powerhouse of the 90s
Eric Dickerson hated graduating and going to the NFL, because he was making more money at SMU.
Now players can be paid … SMU was ahead of they time.
A lot of schools been paying players. SMU just didnt do it in a sneaky way. And they had mofos that open their mouth
@@mistandersonNebraska got a mention. Those boosters in Nebraska, were some a__holes.
Everyone is doing it. That is why the NCAA finally made it legal. @@HVACSoldier
Everyone was ahead of the game. They just didn’t get caught
@@thedangerwich5476 true SMU was very cocky with the way they did it 😅
SMU was at one time one of the greatest football programs in history, but when Texas and Texas A&M began to dominate they became an afterthought. It was when they had that rapid improvement that the NCAA began snooping around, especially when they began attracting kids from other states. Of course, when they found out that they were still paying players even when they were on probation that the whole house of cards came tumbling down. Now the NCAA will only use the Death Penalty as a last result because not only did they pretty much destroy the SMU football program but it also destroyed the once great Southwest Conference.
1980s = SMU are a bunch of cheating bastards! Ban them!
2010s = SMU are pioneers. Pay these players now!
So true 😂
A program ran by rich Texas good ole boys.
They wanted bragging rights in those office towers in Dallas on Monday's. "They wanted to look at that Longhorn, they wanted to look at that Aggie and say 'Hey we got ya again.'"
@@kevaninthe4135 that's my favorite line of the film!
All of them in Texas are.
Been looking for the original 30 for 30 trailer set to Johnny Cash's "God's Gonna cut you down." Fit Pony Excess perfectly.
God forbid the working class get paid. Maybe focus on the injustice, ESPN?
The main takeaway from all this is that dallas and America, understand, NU football (Huskers) are "America's team", without question.
how did the teams like tex, OSU, USC, etc, get away with doing the exact same thing SMU did? this i will never understand.
As Ron Meyer once said. "SMU wasn't suppose to be a good football team." RIP Ron Meyer.
OSU was minor compared to this. Don't be salty.
SMU was a much smaller school, have to make examples of them as compared to an OU who was doing the exact same thing at the time. Like a game of chess, you sacrifice the pawn to protect a stronger piece, hence SMU better than a much more lucrative program like Oklahoma. Business is business as they say.
Like Baylor it not supposed to win
@@prosmokeprochokeantibroke bayler got good and what happened, a convenient scandal to blow up the program, happens every time.
RIP Ron Meyer.
Patrick Duffy, who played Bobby Ewing on "Dallas" and Frank on "Step By Step".
Patrick was the perfect one to narrate this.
I first saw him as Man from Atlantis, I think ...
@@Uncultured_Barbarian465God, that makes us either old or middle aged. “The Man From Atlantis.” Does anyone else remember that TV series?
@@HVACSoldier Oh yes, I remember The Man from Atlantis. Even had several issues of the comic based on the TV series.
It's funny that one of the boosters at the center of that scandal, Garry Weber, just paid for the new end zone at the SMU football stadium. Go Ponies.
ALL SCHOOLS in The Southwestern(SWC), The Big8(now Big12) & Southeastern(SEC) were doing it. But, OKLAHOMA was smart. Boosters would (Legally) ADOPT The Athletes. Players were wearing FURS on the sidelines.
Actually, Duffy did play Bobby Ewing, but Bobby was J.R.'s younger brother, not his son.
35 years ago, today.
#GiveBaylorTheDeathPenalty
What's going on at Baylor is way worse than what SMU ever did and it's not just the football program. The basketball teamwas involved in its own scandal when one player murdered another and tried to cover it up. I know the deeper they go the more crap they will discover in that cesspool.
#baylorUNCLouisville
Penn State, Boston College, Texas and OK as well. What put SMU out was the fact that they did this stupid thing TWICEi
Who is the female newscaster at 1:16? She looks so familiar, but I can't remember her name. . .
Who is the guy who narrated this documentary?
Patrick Duffy.
The best part is when George Riba admits that if WFAA had not done the story the SMU football program would not have been shut down, He acts like he had to do the story like Watergate or some big crime against a child,lol
The Pony Express
Skip Bayless
Oh so true...
Reminds me of Alabama
And northwestern wants to do a union really
Everyone involved including the journalists like Skip Bayless and Dan Hansen sold their souls for fame!
The real trailer had johnny cash
REVERSE IT EVEN THO WE R BETTER
Hah! Frighteningly true... :-)
