Alabama vacating football wins?

Bunch of cheating cry babies!!

Somewhere, Mike Price is laughing.

 

I'm stunned this thread is barely onto its second page.

Slackers!

 

I'm surprised UAB didn't get the death penalty for Alabama's violations.

So Bama gets a slap on the wrist for a minor violaton.

And nobody outside of Alabama really cares.

 

Cleveland State's basketball coach just kicked his cat and doesn't know why.

Wasn't this technically considered a "major" violation?

Not that it matters.

 

Yes, but only because Alabama was still in the five-year "repeat violator" window from its last NCAA case (2002) when all this started (2005).

 

NCAA upholds original penalties. Alabama forced to vacate 21 wins from 2005-07 over textbook violations. That's all 10 from 2005, all six from 2006 and five from 2007 (only ones that stand are Tennessee and Colorado):

I love reading the comments at the end of those Alabama stories, but for this one, do you even need to read past the first one? I think not.

 

I feel so sorry for Nick Saban. Seriously. Honest.

 

Fixed.

Neither here nor there for this story, but a few months back I attended my grandmother's funeral in western Alabama. Between the service and the interment, we went to a local bbq joint and there were pictures of a bunch of Bama players and coaches, one of which was St. Nick. I said something like, "oh, look, Nick Satan." The look I got from my aunt would have frozen lighter fluid.
