Iowa Will Soon Have 9 Wins for 2010

NCAA is going to vacate all of OSU's wins from last year for playing ineligible players all year. Not that it really matters, but that is how it will go down in the record books. This whole thing is really blowing up on them. Instead of the Auburn and Fiesta stories taking some of the heat, they are fanning the flames of anger over all this curruption in college sports.

Also, call me crazy, but I don't really think players selling their jerseys creates a competitive advantage per se. However, this business going on down at Auburn/SEC of paying kids to come play is downright filthy. Chizik is a puppet in all of it with his outright denials. Just comes off as a mope with his head in the sand or a flatout liar. I will go with the later.
 




I could be wrong, but I believe you don't get wins when other teams are forced to vacate - your losses just go away. So Iowa would be 8-4 instead of 8-5.
 




The whole vacating wins thing is such a crock. Buckeye fans/players don't give a rip - those are still wins in their eyes. I understand doing it out of principal, but in practice it just doesn't carry any bite.

Take away schollies and post season opportunities - that is the only way to really make it sting.

Oh, I totally agree. The NCAA needs to make an example out of someone with the death penalty. Might as well be Auburn or Ohio St. Both are cess pools.

In the 90's one of Tom Davis' team finished second in the B-10. Later on the B-10 champ (Minny) had to vacate its wins for that season, so Iowa did indeed have a conference championship under Tom Davis. :D

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Tom also finished second to Clem for Big Ten Coach of the Year, and Woolridge was runner-up to Bobby Jackson for Player of the Year.

In my opinion, that year was Davis' best coaching job. How different the Iowa basketball landscape may have looked this past decade had Davis and Iowa finished in the top spot that season.

If true then they will still not have a win against an SEC team in a bowl game.

Yes they will, because the NCAA discovered the violations and let them play. Technically, OSU would be 1-0 with the "1" being the Sugar Bowl.

And Iowa's record would still be 8-5.

Selling the jerseys isn't about competitive advantage on the field. But they violate their amateur status when they do that, thus making them ineligible. Just think if that were allowed: boosters could spend thousands of dollars on the stuff that the players were selling (which aren't worth all that much). That would be one wicked loophole.

I've heard this talked about a lot but what actually is the NCAA "Death Penalty"?

EDIT: Just looked up what happened to SMU....damn, didn't realize they had to not play an entire season. Sucks for the kids that weren't doing anything (if there were any)

What did SMU in wasn't that they were paying players, it was that they kept on paying players after they were caught paying players.
 


Technically the death penalty was supposed to stop all activities that are acts to the sport in question. In SMU's case, under the rule, football should have been banned forever. They still got a huge punishment from what happened though.
