DANIEL TREVINO DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS AT UT GALVESTON MEDICAL SCHOOL Status of SMU football program may remain dormant until 1990s DALLAS (AP) — Southern Meth odist football, a proud program built in the 1940s by Doak Walker and Kyle Rote, was killed Wednesday for the 1987 season. But it may as well be no foot ball for the rest of the 1980s. The NCAA Analysis me,” said defensive tackle Dick An derson, who only has a year of eligi bility left. He added that the younger players are “going to be in demand.” The manpower pool will hardly be conducive to good club football when SMU plays a limited seven- game Southwest Conference road schedule in 1988. to all contestents in the TAMU Pageant! from Kappa Kappa Gamma handed out the punishment, but it was school boosters who prompted it. A slush fund that paid at least 13 players in amounts ranging from $50 to $750 and totaling about $47,000 gave the NCAA the excuse to apply the coupe de grace. The school was the first to be given the “death penalty” under new NCAA rules allowing the cancella tion of a program based on repeat violations. SMU, which had its first brush with the NCAA in 1958 thanks to rogue alumni, are allowed no schol arships for 1987 and are limited to 15 in 1988. The 52 scholarship football play ers on campus have the right to transfer immediately without losing eligibility, and it didn’t take long for them to start looking for a new home. “There’s a lot of guys who got a lot of early morning calls today, but not In banning any football in 1987, the NCAA also said the school can not play football “or scrimmage with outside competition in 1987.” And players who remain on campus are limited to a conditioning program only with no football equipment other than helmets and shoes. Teaching football fundamentals or techniques is prohibited as is a walk-through of plays or even watching films. SMU is limited now to a head coach and five assistants until Aug. 1, 1989 and won’t be able to recruit off-campus until Aug. 1, 1988. No prospective student-athlete can be provided an expense-paid re cruiting visit to the school until the beginning of the 1988-89 academic year. Only 45 prospects are allowed to visit that season. The monetary cost is staggering. Two years ago. Mustang football brought in a profit of about $ 1.2 mil lion, according to Larry Landry, vice president of finance. SMU will lose revenue from 10 games it had scheduled in 1987, in cluding Oklahoma and New Mexico. The Mustangs had an agreement with Louisiana State on the drawing board. In 1988, the Mustangs had con tracts with Notre Dame and Okla homa, big money games that are now lost. The school is expected to conduct annual audits of the expenses and income of its football team members until the probation ends in 1990. In other words, every football penny will be scrutinized by the NCAA. SMU must hire an athletic direc tor and a coach, or someone to do both jobs, to replace Bob Hitch and Bobby Collins, respectively. Both re signed last December in the wake of reports of the payoffs to players. There are numerous problems to resolve, including a decision on whether to continue to play in Texas Stadium in 1989 when SMU can re sume home game scheduling. The NCAA resisted giving SMU both barrels of a two-year “death penalty.” But one barrel may have done the job.
