I always think that probations that occurred in the 1950s must have been very, very bad for the NCAA to get involved.
No doubt, probably every major program was cheating back then. And without the national media that we have now, a lot of infractions went unnoticed.

Just googled...found:

You see, for decades, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) did not particularly pay attention to whether teams were running "clean" programs (as in not paying their players). A 1929 Carnegie Foundation investigation over a number of years revealed just 28 "clean" programs of the 112 universities that they visited.

In fact, the NCAA did not even have an enforcement division until 1952!

In 1956, an assistant coach was found to have paid two high school recruits (twin brothers) $500 as an enticement to come to Auburn.
