The ESPN series 30 for 30 will be culminating their documentary series this Saturday, Dec. 11 at 9 PM with their story, Pony Excess.

Apparently it covers the Southern Methodist University's (SMU) rise to the no. 1 team in the nation in the early 80's and their subsequent downfall due to numerous recruiting violations.

From 1981-1984, SMU was one of the most dominant football powerhouses college football had ever seen. They then were caught in scandal after scandal regarding recruiting violations for many of their players at the time. The NCAA sanctioned their school's athletic program with some of the harshest penalties ever imposed on a college football program.
This should definitely bring light to a situation that has been in the media a lot lately and open some eyes. I know I won't miss it.

Here is a link to the trailer:
