[QUOTE="denverfrog, post: 1244341, member: 5717"] I have heard that version. I think it stems from a Sports Illustrated article and honestly, what people wanted to believe. Wacker isn't around anymore. But, most of that version was "spun" to portray Wacker and, by association, the University in a better light. I guess it irritates me a little because it paints him as the only "honest" person involved. Very far from the truth. Everyone knew it was wrong and was committed to ending the practices of the past. [b]Nobody[/b] had clean hands here and he certainly didn't turn us in "because it was the right thing to do". He turned us in because he/the athletic department thought we might get a better outcome if we did rather than wait until it came out about 30 miles away. But, he knew for a fact it was coming out either way. Of course, as a private school with little power, the end result was that we were slaughtered, I still believe the infamous "Wacker Letter" and what other coaches believed was a level of arrogance contributed. Inside the SWC, the issues at TCU were not exactly a secret. [/QUOTE]
