SMU had to shut down their program for 2 years because they paid some of their players $50,000
30 years later and a player who gambled $90,000 on HIS OWN TEAM is allowed to play all but 2 regular season games.
SMU will announce later today a $50 million gift from Liz and Bill Armstrong, Carolyn and David Miller, Katy and Kyle Miller, and Mary and Rich Templeton, to the “Student-Athlete Benefit Fund.” The gift will support scholarships, NIL advancement and revenue sharing.
