This is a prime example of why we couldn't join the SEC. We won't do this garden variety SEC cheating.

And that foundation guy stealing cancer patient gift cards? Yikes.

As a fan, does "vacating wins" really mean anything? Like, you experienced it. You celebrated it. 8+ years later who gives a damn?

Just like the players. I doubt they have to give the bowl rings back. It’s a meaningless punishment.

I doubt, LSU itself acknowledges anything vacated. NCAA is so dumb.

NCAA a band of cowardly twits. The time when they dont have any kind of say in college football can't come soon enough.

"LSU has vacated all of its football wins from 2012-2015"

Justice, or whatever you call this, sure moves slow.

I have said it a million times...the only punishment that would matter is taking away home games.

Now, cheating is really not a thing anymore because of NIL but back in the day, if you cheated (I have no problem with paying players, even back before NIL) and got caught, you lose home games.

No, this post is dumb and shows your lack of knowledge. Going forward, LSU is required to acknowledge the vacations in all media guides, publications, etc. and to list Miles' and the team's record to reflect them. If you don't think this is meaningful, consider the egos of coaches and how hard they fight violation allegations that could result in vacation. While it may seem on the surface to be meaningless, schools and coaches hate vacation penalties.

Yes. Then they have to vacate their 1997 championship.

That’s not a championship, it’s a gift from the media, comprised mostly of haughty B1G grad dorks

Think Mike Wilbon

This reality still exists, btw, and is why I believe the B1G should opt out of the playoff and play in the rose bowl again. It’s the league’s only hope of “winning”

Disagree. 95% of people could give two ***** less about vacating wins from 8 years ago. It just really doesn't matter that much. Doesn't affect day to day operations of the football team right now, doesn't affect recruiting, just doesn't matter on anything but paper. They took Reggie Bush's Heisman but he was still the best damn football player in the country that year and you won't convince me otherwise. This is basically a slap on the wrist just to try and show them who is still the boss.

The Sagarin system had Michigan vs NU line set at NU -6.79

That would have been a gift to see NU -6.5. Husker fans would have got rich off that. NU wins that game with ease.

of course

now that we're in the B1G, we should all be rooting for the important games to never be played so we can pretend to "win" like michigan

it's the best thing for our beloved conference

if only there was a version of the rose bowl for college hoops :(

As a hard core Husker fan I would be pissed if Nebraska had to vacate 37 games regardless of any time frame..

The problem was, there wasn't a true championship game in place at the time.

for the B1G, that was a feature, not a bug

we - as huge B1G fans - should all be rooting to go back to that

They were contractually bound to play the PAC 12 champion. I'm sure they would have much rather played Nebraska for the title that year.

Eh, there was a championship system in place but the Big 10 and PAC 12 chose not to participate. That’s their problem, not “the” problem. So screw them.

based on the entire history of the B1G when faced with such a decision, I would have to beg to differ

the league has literally never opted for competition when given the choice

they were proud to duck the system in place in favor of their own, and remain proud of the way things worked out to this very day

Does Michigan even score 20 points vs that NU team?
