ESPN - Oklahoma to vacate all football wins from 2005 - College Football

Quote:

Oklahoma must erase its wins from the 2005 season and will lose two scholarships for the 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years, the NCAA said Wednesday.
The penalties stem from a case involving two players, including the Sooners' starting quarterback, who were kicked off the team last August for being paid for work they had not performed at a Norman car dealership. The NCAA said Oklahoma was guilty of a "failure to monitor" the employment of the players.
Oklahoma President David Boren said the university will appeal the NCAA's "failure to monitor" finding and the ruling that Oklahoma must erase the wins from the 2005 season. Oklahoma has 15 days to notify the NCAA in writing of any such appeal.

The NCAA is a joke. Who cares that they take the wins away. The games have already happened. It is stupid. Fine the university a couple million bucks and take away a few scholarships.

I never have agreed with their policy of punishing kids that in most cases were not even on the team when the infractions occured like 3 or 4 years in the past. I don't think it is fair to ban a team from post season because of what some other guy did 3 years ago.

They set Michigan program back big time because of violations that occurred long time ago. Who is going to want to come to school if they know they can't even play in the tournament no matter how well they do.

The NCAA pretty much wiped the Fab Five memories out of Crisler Arena, but not out of the memories of the fans...
