After the "Death Penalty" in the late 80s, they were toast........until the invention of paying players as Legal came about, and SMU created the pay for play decades earlier. They were magical at doing it, and probably had orgasms and seizures when it became legal, and you have old Dallas oil money, and I don't see them going away. The talent they have on the field isn't anything remotely resembling 1995 or 2005 or 2015. ** Edited by Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie at 5/21/2026, 9:25:16 AM
