FC: Ole Miss vacates 33 wins over six seasons for playing ineligible players

See the link below. From the article:

"Ole Miss will vacate 33 football wins over six seasons between 2010 and 2016 for fielding ineligible players, athletic director Ross Bjork said Monday night.

"It's the last part of this process," Bjork said at a town hall meeting in Cleveland, Mississippi. "In a way, it's just a piece of paper, because you saw those games."

Ole Miss received the sanctions after being accused of 15 Level I violations under coach Hugh Freeze. The NCAA panel on infractions said the school lacked institutional control and fostered "an unconstrained culture of booster involvement in football recruiting."

The Rebels will vacate four wins from 2010, two from 2011, seven from 2012, seven from 2013, eight from 2014 and five from 2016.

The vacated wins include a 23-17 win over Alabama in 2014, with College GameDay in town, that resulted in students storming the field and goalposts coming down. The goalposts became folk heroes, touring the campus and visiting after parties."

Please take this opportunity to remember that Penn State has a culture problem.

I'm not a fan of vacating wins. Hit the program where it hurts for these things.......the pocketbook.

Well that will show them. Any more funny business and there’s always that big 1966 Egg Bowl victory that could be next.

I was wondering what Bjork was up to the last few years.....now I know - she reps Ole Miss

The only people hurt by vacating wins are the players who played in those games.

What is this, the 15th time they have been caught for cheating? Really has affected their recruiting as they are immediately back to their 30+ classes. Gee, I wonder how they enticed some of those recruits? And poor Shea Patterson was the only one who didn't take the handouts and was blindsided when he learned all of his teammates had.

Do the Ole Miss players have to pay their bonuses back for those vacated wins?

Does the school give back revenue from these games? Vacating wins is the dumbest penalty the NCAA has - it's an 'on paper' penalty only and impacts exactly nothing that matters.

The Ole Miss AD said that very thing:

"It's the last part of this process," Bjork said at a town hall meeting in Cleveland, Mississippi. "In a way, it's just a piece of paper, because you saw those games."

He said that after Ole Miss got nailed for playing ineligible players. "We broke the rules, but hey, the games happened. It's just on paper." Asshole.

We said "those games really happened" when Joe and Penn State got screwed with vacated wins. We were justified because Joe and Penn State did nothing wrong. By contrast, Ole Miss has chronic We Just Don't Get It Syndrome.

The other way to look at it is - they *do* get it.

Granted, Oxford, MS isn't being burned down to the ground as it should, but at least they are getting penalized.

I think they look at it as 'the juice was worth the squeeze' wrt to cheating.

They'll do it again. It's what they do.
