Makes me want to throw up.

Sounds like he found Jesus. Again.

Of course Bliss learned well from Gov Clements and the SMU football staff.

One of Bliss's most successful player while at SMU was Jon Koncak, who was the fifth overall pick in the 1985 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks and gold medalist on the 1984 U.S. Olympic basketball team coached by Knight. An NCAA investigation during the mid-'80s reported that Bliss was involved in payments to his players, including Koncak, in violation of NCAA rules. But the NCAA chose not to pursue the investigation any further due to the football program having received the "death penalty".[3] Koncak told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he received payments while at SMU, in violation of NCAA rules:

“The focus of that story was obviously Dave Bliss, but other people got caught up in it, which is unfortunate,” Koncak said. “But, yes, there had been some benefits while I was at SMU, and I did accept some of those benefits. What I did was against the rules."

The NCAA investigation memo from Bliss's time at SMU leaked during 2003, at the peak of the Baylor scandal. The memo reported that Koncak had illegally received the money during his junior and senior years from boosters as well as Bliss.
