USC Stripped of 04 Title

The BCS stripped USC of its 2004 national title Monday.

The decision was not unexpected but required the NCAA's May 26 rejection of USC's appeal of sanctions stemming from the Reggie Bush investigation to move forward.

This is one of the stupidest thing I have ever heard, I hate that the BCS just strips schools of Titles, awards, etc and we all have to pretend it didn't happen. Yes, they may have been playing with an impact player that may have been cheating, but you know what? It already happened.

If I were the BCS or NCAA I would leave whatever the school won up there, and then just paralyze the shit out of their future. Take away scholarships, post season bids and even their TV time in order to make sure to never violate the rules again.

And stripping a title away 7 years later does nothing really, I will always remember that USC won a championship and I will always remember that Reggie Bush won the Heisman. So... fuck off.

FSU In Big Trouble

The Florida State football team will vacate an undetermined number of wins, serve four years' probation, and face a reduction in scholarships and other penalties due to what the NCAA described Friday as "major violations" from an academic cheating scandal.

Nine other programs were also penalized -- baseball, men's track and field, women's track and field, men's swimming, women's swimming, men's basketball, women's basketball, softball and men's golf -- and face the same sanctions. Overall, the scandal involved 61 athletes.

Football coach Bobby Bowden would have entered the coming season with 382 career victories, trailing Penn State coach Joe Paterno by one win on the all-time list. The sanctions will force him to forfeit all wins during which ineligible students competed in 2006 and 2007. ESPN

This sucks. I am a huge FSU fan, but did anyone not see this happening. FSU is one of the dirtiest programs in the NCAA. This sucks for me because this means that a lot of their wins in the next years will be irrelevant and a lot of their players are likely going to leave.(Hopefully not E.J. Manuel) This also will tarnish the career of Bobby Bowden and who has 382 victories. Sad day to be a Seminole fan.
