Synopsis by Cammila Collar
This release recounts the infamous scandal behind the Southern Methodist University Mustangs, who in the early '80s were one of the most celebrated teams in the NCAA, under the leadership of the so-called "Pony Excess" backfield of Eric Dickerson and Craig James, but who fell to a low that would last for 20 years when forced to bear the brunt of the NCAA's "death penalty" - banning key players from the team for repeated violations.
