ShocksMyBrain 9,345 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 https://auburn.247sports.com/Article/Ole-Miss-Vacates-33-Wins-In-Wake-Of-NCAA-Investigation-129000086/ The Ole Miss football program has vacated 33 wins as part of its NCAA penalties. Ole Miss athletic director Ross Bjork made the announcement during the first of a series of town hall meetings with fans Monday night in Cleveland, as was first reported by Chase Parham of RebelGrove.com. Games spread across parts of six seasons are included among those forfeited. Some 27 of those victories now forfeited occurred during the Hugh Freeze era between the 2012 and 2016 seasons. The other forfeits came during Houston Nutt's last two seasons with the program in 2010 and 2011 and were related to ACT violations. The affected seasons are 2010 (four games), 2011 (two games), 2012 (seven games), 2013 (seven games), 2014 (eight games) and 2016 (five games). The only bowl game affected is the 2012 BBVA Compass Bowl played in Birmingham. Ole Miss has forfeited that win over Pitt. 46COMMENTS Wins in the 2013 Music City Bowl and the 2016 Sugar Bowl were allowed to stand. The 2015 season was unaffected because Laremy Tunsil was the ineligible player, and he was held out for seven games by the Ole Miss administration while an investigation into his alleged actions played out. It was Tunsil's participation in the 2013 and 2014 seasons that caused those wins to be vacated. The 2012 forfeits are related to player participation by those who also affected the 2010 and 2011 seasons. The five forfeits for the 2016 season are also due to ineligible player participation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A forefeited game doesn’t award the loser a W. The game is thought of as never happening. So we’re 0-7, technically I guess. So you’re right.

AU64 10,122 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Meanwhile bama vacated 21 wins in the past....bama was 2005, 2006 and 2007.....which technically I guess means that Tuberville does not get three of those wins over bama. Funny thing too if you go to this bama site they have no record of Mike Shula as a coach ….just skip his years and the four seasons he was there and no bio of him Nice way to treat one of their former QBs huh? So bama did not just vacate the wins,.....they vacated the seasons and vacated several of their HCs too. https://www.rollbamaroll.com/2012/7/20/3160979/alabama-by-the-numbers-a-century-of-win-loss-records-and-win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleEye67 1,934 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 So, does this mean that Ole Miss has to give those goalposts back? 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacated games as I understand it don't count as if it were not played....although maybe I'm misunderstanding something. I know when a game is vacated, it comes off the record of the team and coach.. But maybe they just leave the losses alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t vacate the games entirely as it would also punish the teams they played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winning team (AU) doesn't get punished when they were clean and clear, they count the W's and it stands in the record books at it should.

So does the team that lost the vacated game......remove that game from it's records also? If not, the teams on head to head will have a different number of games played? I'm probably making this more difficult than it should be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope - only the offending team that suffers sanctions has their record adjusted/affected by the penalties. The "games" were played on the field, everyone knows who won and lost those games. This "vacated" crap is ridiculous IMO - we all know who Hugh Freeze beat with those 5* players while at Ole Miss. I don't know exactly how the record books record the vacated games, but the offender is the only team that gets an adjusted W/L column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnphan 6,050 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 In reality the most meaningless punishment that can be handed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Yep...especially since most of the schools don't even bother to change their record books...at least most bama records for those years include the vacated wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
