Vacated Wins

[Huskers93-97]

Question for the research experts on this board. So in regards to vacated wins. Whether it be USC or Penn State or anyone else for that matter. 

If a team gets say 10 wins stripped away from their all-time record.

1. Do the 10 programs they beat also get the loss removed from their record? 

2. Do those 10 programs not only get to remove the loss- but do they get to add it as a win because technically the other program forfeited due to not being eligible? 

3. Say in the pre-conference championship days- if say penn state was the conference champ. Then later were deemed ineligible. Shouldnt they go back and retroactively name the conference champ to the runner up? 

4. In the days of a conference championship- then shouldnt the loser of the title game be crowned the conference champ since technically the team they played forteited due to not being eligble to play? 

5. Same could be said for a National Championship. The years USC played and won but were not eligible. 

6. Do the yards accrued by the losing team to the non-eligible team still count towards record books? I know they are stripped away from the cheating team- but what about the losing team?

No to all

So all those teams that lost to a non- eligible team still have to record that loss?

 

[Ulty]

if the game was actually played, and they lost, it is a loss.

You could argue the same for the wins.

And what if one of the reason they lost the game was because the cheating team had an advantage they weren’t supposed to have?

Hey man, I don't make up the rules!

Kind of an old article:


What does vacating wins really mean?

Well, give it a try.  Just because you don't doesn't mean you can't!  Aim High!

It's just a bulls#!t way the NCAA pretends to punish schools so they appear to be useful.  The NCAA is like an appendix, it served a purpose once but after years of evolution it can now be removed and nothing would change.

It's just a bulls#!t way the NCAS pretends to punish schools so they appear to be useful.  The NCAA is like an appendix, it seeved a purpose once but after years of evolution it can now be removed and nothing would change.

Well said!
