SMU football players may play for other schools immediately
The Associated Press
DALLAS - The Southwest Conference Council voted yesterday to allow Southern Methodist University football players to transfer to any of the other Southwest Conference schools without having to wait one year before playing.
The Council met Friday by conference call and decided by a 5-3 vote to allow players to waive a league rule that prohibited players from transmitting and playing immediately, Fred Jacoby, SW Commissioner
Yesterday, Jacoby turned down a request from Rice for reconsideration of its positive vote, making the decision final.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association cancelled SMU's 1987 football season because of recruiting violations that occurred while the school was already on probation for previous violations. The Mustangs
will be allowed to play only seven games in 1988, all on the road.
Under NCAA rules, the SMU players can transfer without having to sit out a year, which brought recruiters from numerous other schools to the SMU campus last week to look for players. However, the rule that was rescinded yesterday left conference schools at a recruiting disadvantage and would have being waived within the SWC would have had to sit out a year.
"You've got two things to look at. One, the good kids who are having to pay the price for all this," said Coach Ken Hatfield of Arkansas, whose school, along with TCU and Texas Tech, voted on assist waiving the rule. "And we have not had every opportunity to go where they can enjoy college football."
but he collapsed soon.
But Hatfield questioned how far the NCAA and SWC should go in punishing the SMU program.
"If you let them all transfer,some
would have to start again from ground zero." Hatfield said. "If you limit it to the seniors only, you at least have a few people left."
Council members voted to use the NCAA special transfer rule that waives the one academic year residency requirements of athletes in the football program.
Rice changed its mind after Friday's 5-3 vote and asked for a reconsideration. Jacoby, however, said that the earlier vote was binding and that the request for reconsideration could only be considered at a future meeting.
"What happened was we had a conference telephone call Friday," Jacoby said. "One institution called and said it wanted to change its vote and ask for reconsideration. We both concurred that the meeting concluded when we hung up on the phone call."

place," team captain Greg Lederer said. "It's the best game we have played all year.
