How the Billionaires Are Bringing Back SMU Football
Manage episode 439487554 series 2581277
In the 1980s SMU football looked to be almost inevitable. With a No. 2 ranking and a constant stream of top recruits, like Eric Dickerson and Craig James, they looked to be headed to a national title of their own.
But they also had something else, a well-documented payroll for their players.
This resulted in the NCAA’s so-called “death penalty” ruling for the program and sent SMU down a 40-year path of obscurity. But now, with the NIL era in full swing and armed with a stable of billionaire boosters, SMU football is jumping headfirst into a new conference with thoughts of the college football playoff on their mind.
Dave Wilson joins us from Texas to break down the Mustang’s path from NCAA pariah to modern-day redemption.
