Description: The best that never was: In 1981, Marcus Dupree was the most sought-after recruit in the country as dozens of colleges vied to sign him for their football team.  However, his short-lived career was plagued by injuries, conflicts and inflated expectations.  Pony excess: In the early 1980s, Southern Methodist University's football team was riding high on the success of their celebrated "Pony Express" backfield, but less than a decade later the team was shattered by the NCAA's first and only use of the "death penalty" on a college football team.
