Falconsfan567 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Vacated wins is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. NCAA: "those games never happened, erase them from the record books!!" Fans: "HeIl yes they did!! I've got the video proof to prove it!!" Seriously, vacated wins is dumb. You can't change history and that's exactly what the NCAA is trying to do.

You can't change history and that's exactly what the NCAA is trying to do. It is mostly useless. The games already happened, fans already experienced the thrills of winning those games and the attention it brought to the program. It’s all they can really do though if players deemed ineligible played and contributed to the win. It all still happened, just isn’t recognized in the official records. Not sure what alternative there is. Just allow the record to stand even though the program was found to be cheating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just penalize them in the future is about the only thing that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
