The board of governors served as an executive committee of the 75-member board of trustees. Because of the group's size, most of the real governing was done by the 21-member Board of Governors. In the aftermath of the 1987 Football 'Death penalty' against SMU, the board of governors was eliminated and replaced with a smaller and more efficient board of trustees. The changes were also designed to increase the independence and authority of the university president. The new structure called for a Board of Trustees of 40 members and meeting four times a year instead of twice.
