No doubt SMU was cheating. But, all the other schools were at the time as well. Texas and Texas A&M were offering the same players SMU was and trying to lure them using same tactics Even TCU and Rice were paying players. From the ESPn article a few years ago on demise of SWC:

quote:
John Jenkins, Houston offensive coordinator 1987-89, head coach 1990-92: [In the 1980s, SMU] started lining up and beating the likes of Texas and certainly A&M. And that's when some problems started occurring ... the bitterness of rivalries, the intense competition of recruiting. [SMU coach] Ron [Meyer] went on probation, but so did everybody else at the same time. I mean, everybody, other than Rice, got put on probation for cheating with some sort of restrictions put on 'em.
