Turned in SMU for cheating after SMU beat Texas. That was the beginning of the end.
Yes, Texas destroyed the SWC because SMU cheated. The 1987 death penalty caused the SWC to collapse 7 years later.
Definitely wasn't because it was a conference comprised of 3 decent programs and 6 also-rans, all but 1 (who then left) from a single state. At the beginning of the TV era where only people from Texas or Arkansas would watch the games on TV.
It's always Texas.
