Uh, the figs have been on probation quite a few times throughout their history actually In multiple sports (basketball and football most notably), and are in the top ten dirtiest athletic departments all time. They are well known for attempting to buy Eric Dickerson by getting him a brand new trans am and giving him tens of thousands of dollars in cash for him to sign with them...but instead, he got a better offer from smu (the only football program to receive the death penalty for what they did during that era) and told am to shove it lol. I don't even think they got in trouble for that instance directly. They are actually currently on probation in football until July 2021. Look up football probations all time. Texas am has had their share of troubles.

I don’t think the 5 confederate dollars, 3 cowbells, and Little Dewey’s BBQ meal that State offered is really even considered a bid

Ole Miss...is no one going to mention the 60s riot? Reading the link, I had no idea that "Over 30,000 troops were deployed, alerted, and committed during the conflict-the largest for a single disturbance in American history." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Miss_riot_of_1962
State's might be the 1970s NCAA probation where we had to forfeit a few years of wins, if for no other reason that the NCAA probation was stopped by a local Oktibbeha County judge then overturned (allowed) by the Ole Miss-stacked Mississippi Supreme Court.
The actual infractions were extremely minor charges (a $12 discount on clothes for a player) that were not really infractions at all as all State students got the same discount. The NCAA would not allow the store owner to testify, and later the NCAA was reprimanded by the U.S. Congress for bad investigation practices and intimidation of witnesses.
As of right now those forfeited wins cause us to be under .500 historically. We would be over .500 with those wins.

You mean the Klantino Marchiol crap? The one where the NCAA investigated for 3 years and found nothing so they charged us with a procedural infraction?

Aggie NCAA violations, again, and resulting TV ban meant no TV for the Texas-TAMU Thanksgiving Game in 1989.
Up until then, this was the only televised college game played on Thanksgiving. Game eventually was moved to T+1.
Quite memorable, given that they forever #$@#$&( up so many Thanksgiving traditions for so many people.
About that Honor Code ...

Miss State: you would think students joining ISIS should be up on the list….but sure, let’s go with test taking.

I forgot about the high school homecoming queen joining ISIS. Arrested her and her boyfriend getting on a plane at Golden Triangle Airport.

Joining ISIS to get the hell out of Starkganistan really isn’t a bad idea

How do you think the dawgies would fare at the end of a 14-month, high profile investigation?

It gets overlooked by the steroid scandal, but we also had a big scandal in 1980 when our women’s basketball coach Pam Parsons slept with a recruit.

Means was by far more devastating to the program than anything else that's ever happened to Bama. That's what set off the saga of the 3 Mikes and led to a decade of almost total irrelevance.
If the standard is most damaging, it's the Means saga by far.
