The News quotes Smith: “I said,
‘Well, coach, how will I get home in the
winter months or for the Christmas
breaks and things of that nature. He said,
‘We can get you a summer job. That’s
not against the rules. Also I have work
that I need done around my house. We
can work that out. And I can pay you
what I want to pay you. ’ . . .
“Once he told me he was going to take
care of me and I wouldn’t have to worry
about nothing, I said, ‘OK. I’m coming
to school here.’ ”
The article also quotes Smith as saying
a member of Sherrill’s staff arranged to
sell his complimentary tickets.
According to the News Smith said,
“He just told me, T got a guy that’s
gonna take care of your tickets and you
need to be patient. He’ll come by and
holler at you after the ball games. He’ll
be in the dressing room.”
The man is identified in the article as
“Bill from Lampasas (Texas).”
The News reported that Sherrill con
fronted Smith and told him the alumni
transactions were too risky.
Smith is quoted as saying, “He came
to me and told me that he didn’t want me
dealing with that guy any longer. He
said, ‘If you need anything, you come to
me from now on. ’ ”
The article says Smith and Sherrill
struck an agreement about future cash
payments for living expenses during the
summer of 1983.
Smith reportedly told the News that he
asked Sherrill for money for the season
as well as how it would be handled.
The News quotes Smith as saying
Sherrill replied, “ ‘Well, I don’t want
you selling your tickets to anyone. What
you do is . . . you come to me and I’ll let
you go over to my house and work and
earn it. Nobody told me how much 1 can
pay you.”
Smith told the News that when he
showed up to do yard work Sherrill just
asked him how much money he needed.
The News quotes Smith as saying
Sherrill would give him anywhere from
$200 to $400 whenever he asked.
After his freshman year Smith decided
to leave A&M. The News quotes Smith

The News reported that Smith said he
had been contacted Wednesday night by
Coach Pugh’s wife. The story states that
Smith said as a result of that conversa
tion he would re to stand by the
statements he made in the tape-recorded
interviews. A notarized, sworn statement
was signed by Smith before the interview
that he would “be truthful in the informa
tion he provides,” the story says.
However, Smith later tried to deny
what he said during the interview,
according the article.
The News quotes Smith as saying, “If
I say it didn’t happen, nothing happe
ned.” Smith is also quoted as saying
Pugh, who recruited him, is being
treated unfairly by Sherrill as the allega
tions unfold.
The following statement was is
sued by Lane Stephenson, Director
of Public Information for Texas
A&M, on behalf of President Wil
liam HL Mobley.
The Bmmon received the
statement at 10:40 a.m. today.
“Wc are in the process as I speak:
of attempting to ascertain the facts
from among a series of conflicting
statements. We learned of the allega
tions Wednesday and immediately
notified the NCAA in conjunction
with starting our own internal inves
tigation.
“A ci ial facet of the matter in
our opi on is that after learning of
the con *nt of the Da flas Morning
News story before publication, the
young man involved called Mr. Rob
ert Smith, the University's officer in
charge of NCAA compliance mat
ters, and essemialily denied the alle
gations to be published.
“University officials are in the
process of setting up a meeting as
soon as possible with the young man
to determine the facts in the form of
a sworn statement. We also will be
seeking sworn statements from ev
eryone else involved, including Ath

A copy of a Federal Express mailing label on a package sent to George Smith is shown above. The name Bob
Matey, a member of Sherrill’s staff, appears on the label as the sender of the package. According to the Dal
las Morning News Smith said the envelope contained $500 in cash. The envelope was sent from Bryan to
Smith in Atlanta. It was sent Sept. 13, four days after A&M announced the results of an investigation by the
NCAA. The label accompanied a copyrighted story in today’s edition of the News.
as saying Sherrill helped him transfer to
Clemson. He is also quoted as saying
Sherrill provided him spending money
and a plane ticket.
Smith is quoted as saying he estimated
he received more than $10,000 in cash,
benefits and plane tickets while at A&M.
According to the article, Smith con
tacted Sherrill again as the NCAA inves
tigation into the A&M football program
started.
By this time he had quit school and
applied for early eligibility for the 1986
professional draft, according to the
News.
The News quotes Smith as saying he
decided to expose Sherrill because of an
ger. Smith is quoted as saying he ex
pected Sherrill to provide around $3,000
for vocational school tution in one lump
sum, but the money kept coming in small
amounts.
“I wanted him to send me back to
school,” the News quotes Smith as say
ing. “I wanted to finish up. That’s what I
really wanted. ... He owes me a degree.
I would never have left A&M if 1 hadn’t
gotten screwed by the coaching staff. So
1 got screwed out of graduating ftoi
there. . . .
“All this was done to keep me q«
for a couple of months.”
Several A&M football players cor
tacted by The Battalion said they had#
comment and were waiting for a meetini
to be held with the coaches. They
they first heard of the charges this mom
ing.
Jeff Henry, reemiting coordinatorfe
A&M, said he did not know aboutk
charges until he heard the radio report
of the allegations today.
