Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

So. Much. This.

SMU got the death penalty for doing something the courts ultimately ruled the NCAA had no authority to prohibit.

I don’t think it’s possible to fully quantify the damage the NCAA inflicted on SMU football—or on the university itself. An entire generation of momentum, investment, and national relevance was wiped away. We are still the butt of jokes in many circles.

For the decades since, I’ve watched programs survive fake classes for athletes, academic fraud, recruiting scandals, sexual assault scandals, and even cases involving murder. The explanation was always the same:

“That’s different.”

Now a player who admits to betting on his own school’s games has received an injunction allowing him to continue his career.

But if betting on your own team’s games isn’t enough to trigger a bright-line defense of the integrity of college sports, then it’s fair to ask a question SMU fans have been asking for 40 years:

What exactly was so uniquely unforgivable about what SMU did?

Where is our restitution?

@SaraGonzalesTX @BrettFavre Sometimes I read comments and wonder if people saw the same thing I did.

@Mojobaby007 @WSJ ChatGPT, is this true? Response: The meme takes a controversial list of military personnel changes, labels all of them as generals personally fired by Obama, and then claims they were purged for being conservative. The available evidence does not support those assertions.

@MLB Except at Globe Life apparently. 👎 @Rangers

@crawlyscubs It was great, but El MAGO doesn’t better.

@obvious_shirts 💯

[Kellie Prinz Johnson @Kel_Prinz]

@SMUMustangAlum I’m so ready for this to be over.

[Kellie Prinz Johnson @Kel_Prinz]

@obvious_shirts So effing sad

[Kellie Prinz Johnson @Kel_Prinz]

@MatchupTracker @ScootBarley No contest.

[Kellie Prinz Johnson @Kel_Prinz]

@ACCessPony @PonyKaiLLP There are fans of other teams who saw more games, but none tragically died nearly as young and none endured the horrific football this fiercely loyal and amazing human did. #PL542 #PonyUpForever

[Kellie Prinz Johnson @Kel_Prinz]

@ACCessPony Agree. But pretty sure we sold our soul for that one, and there’s been some inane heartache ever since.

@_sorrengailll @CubbySteph @AmazonPrime It’s the commercials on the @amazonprime stuff that pisses me off. That + buying something specifically because it says it’s going to arrive a certain day then it doesn’t. 🤬

[Kellie Prinz Johnson @Kel_Prinz]

@carson_tk CONGRATS! Can’t wait for you to be on the Hilltop!

[Kellie Prinz Johnson @Kel_Prinz]

Bases loaded. Nobody out. No runs. 🤬

[Kellie Prinz Johnson @Kel_Prinz]

@BikerJack70 @draloneboy So 100% evidence is required for this, but repeated lack of evidence and defeats in court aren’t enough to convince MAGA that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen. Got it. 🙄

[Kellie Prinz Johnson @Kel_Prinz]

@obvious_shirts I like it better when the Cubs win

[Kellie Prinz Johnson @Kel_Prinz]

@RGIII That’s some bullshit
