I couldn't care less. They paid their debt to society and I wouldn't hold it against them. In fact, you could almost say that they were ahead of their time. Kinda gangster even. And I sort of low key like that. I also have respect for someone trying to buy their way in. Stanford has the academic card. SMU has the money card. Which one is more important to the ACC right now? And WRT the death penalty at large, many other schools since then should have gotten it. UNC academic scandal? And SMU and UNC were nothing compared to the craven depravity of Ped State, who had a coach raping young boys in their locker room, then ignoring it. And when the crimes were finally exposed to the world, the "fans" just protested about the firing of Slobbering Joe Paterno. And there are tons of people who would want PSU in the ACC as if none of that didn't happen more recently than the SMU scandal. I'm not saying I would accept or turn down any of these teams, Stanford, SMU, Cal or even hypothetically Penn State. But I will say that I am not going to hold SMU's past against them.
