At least 1979. Eric Dickerson, in an article in USA Today's Friday edition, admits openly that his grandparents received a suitcase with $50,000 to reimburse them for a gold Trans Am he drove off a Houston lot. Where he drove it to Dallas to attend SMU. Once there, a booster from SMU helped him buy a Corvette. In the article, he admitted he never played a down for the Aggies, "but to whom could the Aggies complain ?" "So that's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but, straight from the horse's mouth".

It goes back farther than that. They were paying players when Bryant was there.

Wow, I’ve never heard the Eric Dickerson Trans Am story. It’s almost like it hasn’t been posted on this board 5 times this week.

Yea, but Texas was manipulating the limitless scholarships until it was no longer a rule 2011. Otherwise, how else could you rationalize Texas always beating Texas A&M?

I’m sure it goes back to the beginning of time for most.

Truth is the degree from A&M for players that finish school is worth a lot of money. That's a another form of cheating I guess.

How did A&M cheat? Dickerson did not go to school at A&M. Had he gone to A&M, that would have been cheating.

The Aggies who fought in World War II had real honor. The more recent generations of Aggies try to leech off of that legacy, but have betrayed it by acting so dishonorably.

Everyone was paying players. Who cares

The National Collegiate Athletic Assn. placed Texas A&M; on probation for two years and declared it ineligible for bowl competition this season, and the Southwest Conference said that the Aggies could not compete for the league football championship because of major recruiting violations.
According to the NCAA Friday, Texas A&M; committed 16 violations and failed to “exercise appropriate institutional control” over its athletic department. Texas A&M; had been favored to win a fourth consecutive football title this year.
“I’m responsible,” said Jackie Sherrill, Texas A&M;'s coach and athletic director. “It’s my job. I’m responsible for the program and to make sure things are done correctly.”
Sherrill acknowledged that Texas A&M; might have received a lighter penalty if he had suspended quarterback Kevin Murray, the apparent source of two of the most serious violations.
But aggy

Who would believe Eric Dickerson? We already know he is a liar. If he said he would go to A&M for a car and he does not go then he is not someone I would trust.

As a long time SWC member I can tell you 1 thing for certain.
ANYTHING Aggy has success in is due DIRECTLY to cheating. They are good at it, better than Auburn even. If there is a way to cheat the system, Aggy, will find it.
And we STILL own them all time.

There’s holes in this story. Firstly, what trans am cost 50k in the 1970s? Secondly, a black guy with a corvette in the 50s and not make national headlines. Look, I get it. However this shite don’t seem right.
