Raw Deal? R.C. Slocum opens up about A&M's early '90s NCAA troubles
I'm glad some of this story is coming out. When RC Slocum says “That was the biggest screwing a school ever got” you should probably pay attention, while a die hard Aggie he's not going to lie to you.
Greg Hill made some mistakes for sure, but what he did didn't raise to the level of lack of institutional control as the NCAA said.
In the summer of 1992, Hill, a star running back who would become a first-round NFL draft pick, was among several A&M players who got a job working on Housing and Urban Development (HUD) projects in the Dallas area. They were summer help for a full-time staff that did “make readies” — replacing carpet, painting, cleaning, etc. — on HUD apartment units.
An audit found that from 1990-92 many employees were paid for hours when they were not actually at work. That included, but was not limited to, Hill and some other A&M athletes.
“They were doing what everyone else was doing,” Slocum said. “They were summer employees and doing what the full-time employees were doing. Sometimes they left early. Well, everybody else was leaving early. Sometimes after lunch they didn’t have anything to do, and the regular workers would say, 'Just show up (tomorrow) morning.'”In fact, Slocum said another player was dismissed at his urging. A prize recruit who was on his way to becoming All-American was working that summer on a similar HUD project in Garland. Actually, “working” might not be an accurate verb.
That player was employed under a more diligent manager than Hill was, and the boss phoned Slocum to report that his player's on-the-job effort wasn’t satisfactory. Slocum recommended the player be fired. He was.
I'm not in the would'a, could'a, should'a, camp, so I'm not going down that road. I see this as another example of why there is no trust in the NCAA today.Comment

If the line is set at 8 for A&M and Texas I take the under for A&M and the over for Texas.

RC may or may not have been dirty, according to the article he isn't so I guess it is debatable as I don't buy into the "he's not going to lie to you". I have no doubt ATM was dirty at the time as a carry over from Jackie but it was the boosters, FEDEX, etc. The rub is what ATM did was no different than what OU did ~10 years later and the penalties aren't comparable. I think ATM got what they deserved and I think ou's penalty should have been in line with what ATM got.Originally posted by Dave View PostLast edited by cehorn; 06-26-2018, 02:49 PM.Comment

It sells magazines and gets clicks. That is why you always see the blue bloods listed higher in the rankings than they should in a lot of cases.Originally posted by thegrouse View PostComment

Yeah, it might eventually quit being funny to watch them fail...but I'd sure like to test that theory for about 35 more years or so.Originally posted by 17ncs View PostI hope notComment
