Recruiting
SMU-ex alleges more violations
k DALLAS (AP) - A former
'Southern Methodist University
football player says he was paid
$25000 to sign with SMU and was
later paid $750 per month after the
school was cited in 1985 for
recruiting violations by the NCAA.
David Stanley made the allega-
tions during a broadcast Wednesday
night on WFAA-TV.
He said the monthly payments
were made to him after the National
Collegiate Athletic Association im-
posed major sanctions on SMU and
warned that a future major violation
might result in a two-year suspen-
sion of the school's football pro-
gram. The $25000 payment was made
before he signed in 1983 to attend
SMU Stanley said.
The television station said the
NCAA is investigating the allega-
tions by Stanley but there was no
confirmation of that available from
the NCAA.
The former linebacker said Henry
Lee Parker administrative assistant
to SMU athletic director Bob
Hitch made monthly payments of
$400 to him and $350 to Mrs.
kDawn Stanley of Angelton his
mother until Stanley dropped out
of school in December 1985.
Stanley admitted in an interview
with the television station that he is
bitter about his early departure
from SMU because it cost him a
chance at a possible professional

football career. He said he hopes
that the NCAA does punish SMU.
"I hope they get what's coming to
them" he said.
Stanley also said he was hospital-
ized for a time during his stay at
SMU for treatment of a drug pro-
blem. He said the university paid
for the treatment.
Hitch admitted that the school
paid for the drug treatment and said
he knew the payment was a vio-
lation of NCAA rules at the time it
was made.
Stanley told the television station
that he lied to NCAA investigators
who questioned him about possible
payments from the school because
he felt loyalty to the school and
feared that it would harm his foot-
ball career if he told the truth.
School officials denied the allega-
tions and said they had questions
about Stanley's credibility. They
would not comment further on the
questions about his credibility.
"I know that I haven't paid him"
said Hitch.
"I received $25000 to attend
SMU and "Bootsie" Larsen paid
me" said Stanley.
P.J. "Bootsie" Larsen a former
assistant coach was fired from
SMUonAug.311985.
The former player said that after
Larson left SMU Parker continued
the payments.
"I never met his mother and fa-
ther" said Parker. "I had no in-

Larsen would not comment but
told the television station "You're
taking the word of a kid."
The television station reported
that they hired a handwriting expert
to check the initials "HLP" on an
envelope sent to Stanley's mother
against the handwriting of Parker.
The expert told the station that the
handwriting was the same.
The station also said it hired a
polygraph operator to administer lie
detector tests to Stanley and his
mother and the operator said they
were telling the truth when they
said they received the payments.
Terms of the probation assessed
against SMU for recruiting vio-
lations last year called for the school
to disassociate itself from boosters
for two years and said the school
could not appear on television or in
bowl games for one year and reduc-
ed the number of scholarships the
j Southwest Conference school could
I grant during the period.
The probation ends Aug. 16
1988 but all sports programs at the
school must avoid major violations
through August 1990 to avoid the
so-called NCAA "death penalty"
punishment that would include a
two-year suspension of the football
program for two years.
The NCAA defines a major
penalty as one that results in a year
of probation.
