Ron Meyer gazed out at the snow carpeting the field in Schaefer Stadium on Dec. 12, 1982, and made a coaching call that secured a spot in pro football history — and turned a burglary convict on a work-release program into a timeless hero for New England Patriots fans.

Ron Meyer was the shiz back in the day. He didn't even try to hide it at SMU.

Ron Meyer was an interesting guy.....WIN WIN WIN.....at whatever cost.


SMU has never recovered from his era.

The NCAA is a joke. Just tell them to F off like UNC did.

Yep. Unless you're a small, private faith based university in the south you'll be ok. The things that Jackie Sherrell was doing at A&M were just as bad...actually worse...than the Ponies were doing. Aggy only got a slap on the wrist compared to SMU.

Effects from the Death Penalty were devastating but only secondary as to why they've never returned to competitive football.

In the aftermath of the penalty being handed down their Senate Faculty Committee seized control of the university and professers threatened to resign in mass. That's the real reason SMU voluntarily imposed the second year of not fielding a football team.
