I love how in this last quote texashorn actually has in their that the NCAA "sympathizes" with some schools and comes down hard on others. Awesome.
Yet somehow the NCAA (while Charles Allen Wright was Chair of Infractions) found nothing of note when the Statesman broke the "Capitol Camera" scandal in the '70s either which essentially had much of the Texas football team admitting to being paid for jobs that they didn't show up to, the most noteworthy being AA Brad Shearer. Then later was the '80s scandal that has already been talked about here where you had 24 former LH players telling the DMN they were paid and yet somehow that never made it into the final NCAA report, instead it was the minor infractions.
I won't deny A&M cheated in the '80s as did every SWC school. If you were a stud player in the '80s in Texas you were getting benefits whether you went to A&M or Texas or SMU or wherever, that's just how it was. What is hilarious is the holier than though crap of texashorn who tries to make the NCAA reports with Charles Allen Wright's fingerprints on them as evidence that somehow Texas was "purer" than the rest and that is why they got a slap while A&M and SMU got HAMMERED. I'm sure it was just a coincidence that both runs of 3 SWC Titles in a row in the '80s and '90s were stopped by the NCAA. lol
BTW, this is my personal favorite play of how Texas ran the SWC before the Big 12. This interception was ruled "out of bounds" when it would have sealed A&M's win over Texas in 1963 that would have kept Texas from its first NC:

The other thing on Charles Allen Wright. He essentially wrote the book (literally) on NCAA infractions while Chair in the '70s, remained on the committee directly into the '80s, and consulted on virtually every case brought before the committee and was seen as the Godfather of the Infractions Committee until he health declined in the late '90s. He was a brilliant lawyer but an open Longhorn fan that was known for being an intimidating and partisan figure throughout his life.
Kudos to Texas for getting him as their inside guy but to act as though it was a coincidence that the NCAA basically destroyed all of Texas competition while he was involved is just laughable.
