Which recruit was paid the most? Which program is the dirtiest?

[Hoo's That]

My guess for program is SMU.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Hold those calls ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. Adjusting for inflation, what Eric Dickerson and Craig "Mr. Sanctimonious" James got back then makes what players get now look like elementary school cafeteria lunch money.

The Okies under Barry Switzer were supposed to have open wallets.

There are two "30 for 30"s about them, "Pony Excess", about SMU, and "The Best That Never Was", about Switzer's recruiting of Marcus Dupree.

Not sure where it ranks but in overall anger I'm voting for the bag that got dropped for Kenny Anderson by Cremins that cost SU a legit shot at a title. That 1990 SU squad with Kenny had a shot vs. UNLV.

Coleman - Johnson
Owens - Augmon
Anderson - Anthony
Thompson - Hunt
Ellis - Butler

Dirtiest historically? That is a different thing from the program caught most often.
