I watched the 30 for 30 on Espn about SMU and it was not Texas that turned them in. It was a school up North that was trying to recruit against them and lost a player to them...SMU and the rest would have been fine if they just quit the crap for a little while to get the NCAA off their back. The problem was, like the addicts they are, they ignored the warnings from the NCAA and kept going. There own people testified against them and got them in the most trouble..
That kid didn’t sign until 1983. All the problems started in 1980 because SMU went into Austin and beat Texas. After losing by 2 in 1981 SMU won again in 1982. Texas was mad that SMU dared to beat/compete with them on the football field and they couldn't have it. Look at Texas record vs SMU and A&M prior to 1980. They had won 13 in a row over SMU and 9 of 13 vs A&M. All the sudden Texas started losing to both. They threw a tantrum and couldn't handle it.
Texas was cheating just as much (if not more) than SMU and A&M. Only Texas got a very small slap on the wrist while SMU and A&M paid dearly. Why was that?

I know you know the answer, but for the benefit of others:
Charles Alan Wright
Wright was also involved in both intramural and intercollegiate athletics. Wright served on the NCAA Committee on Infractions from 1973 until 1983, including five years as chair. At the University of Texas, Wright's achievements extended beyond the classroom and courtroom: Wright led the Legal Eagles – a stunningly successful intramural football team – to 330 wins during his 45-year involvement as coach and athletic director. He was also a member of the committee that was formed to hire a new head football coach of the University of Texas in 1997, eventually hiring Mack Brown.
