When we finally paid and got the right players, we drew attention and got exposed. The idea of Wacker not knowing the situation when he got here is crazy. He just wanted it to stop
wacker knew it was going on before he got here because one of the first things he did when he got to tcu was meet with the players and in a second meeting certain alumni and tell them all the cheating had to stop.
there has been this claim by some protecting names from the past that the former ad and hc at the time didn't know about the cheating which would have made them the only two people near the program who didn't know about the cheating.
it wasn't hard for smu to know about what was happening at tcu. tcu was in direct bidding competition with smu for multiple players out of dallas, two resulting in a very interesting direct stand off between staffs. heck, if i remember correctly one linebacker from a certain high school in south dallas had signed to go to smu, was denied admittance, and then ended up at tcu with the other collection of golden bears
don't disagree wacker was put in a bad place, we did get hit worse than anyone other than smu, but i don't agree with those who say it was simply because we were the small private school.
