Lee Corso on the current perception in college football of the SEC: "The national view is, the SEC cheats. The SEC's going to get a bad reputation, like the Southwest Conference got 10, 15 years ago. You know what happened to them?" (via sports weblogger Ben Maller).

As a Dallas native, I'm still bitter about the closure of the SouthWest Conference and the death penalty that turned SMU into a small-time football school. I could accept SMU's punishment if it had been meted out to others with similarly sordid crimes, but it appears that SMU is the first and last school that will ever be executed for cheating, and even if some of these SEC schools are caught doing something nefarious, they'll receive an extremely light punishment.
