Exactly my thoughts. It’s like being the skinniest kid at weight loss camp.

Ole Miss to vacate 33 wins as part of NCAA sanctions

ole-miss-alabama-goal-post.jpg


Ole Miss’ huge upset over Alabama in 2014? It never happened, at least in the eyes of the NCAA.

The NCAA had accused the Ole Miss football program of 21 violations, 15 of which are the most serious under The Association’s penalty structure and which dated as far back as Houston Nutt‘s tenure. Ole Miss self-imposed a bowl ban for the 2017 season as well as stripped itself of 11 scholarships; in early December of 2017, the NCAA added to that self-imposed sanction by banning the Rebels from a bowl game in 2018 as well as stripping a total of 13 scholarships. That latter punitive measure was spread out over a period of four years.

Additionally, the program was placed on three years probation, through Nov. 30, 2020, as well as slapped with recruiting restrictions that included the reduction of official and unofficial visits.

Monday night, athletic director Ross Bjork confirmed that the football program will also be forced to vacate a total of 33 wins from a period spanning from 2010 through the 2016 season. The vacated wins are the result of the Rebels using players who were later deemed to be ineligible.

JMHO, I can see erasing championships, not recognizing any NCAA records, and/or having to repay bowl money, etc. Vacating wins is just rediculous; the games were played. Require the school put an * on the season record if you want to; but everyone remembers/knows who won and who lost the game(s).

Do you honestly think they beat Bama if they didn't pay those 5* to go there?
