CLEVELAND | Ole Miss picked up its final piece of NCAA punishment, and it has a significant effect on the Rebels' record book.
Ole Miss, because of ineligible player participation, vacates all wins from 2010 (four wins), 2011 (two), 2012 (seven) and 2016 (five). All wins other than the Music City Bowl from 2013 (seven wins) must be vacated, as well as all wins from 2014 except for the Presbyterian game (eight wins).
VACATED WINS
2010: Tulane, Fresno State, Kentucky, ULL
2011: Southern Illinois, Fresno State
2012: Central Arkansas, UTEP, Auburn, Tulane, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Pittsburgh
2013: Vanderbilt, Southeast Missouri, LSU, Texas, Idaho, Arkansas, Troy
2014: Boise State, Vanderbilt, ULL, Memphis, Alabama, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, Tennessee
2016: Wofford, Georgia, Memphis, Georgia Southern, Texas A&M

I didn't realize they had 30 wins to vacate
February 11th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
Well, the Ole Missin' did span two coaches and six years.
February 11th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
I know
February 11th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
1 win = 1 whoore
February 11th, 2019 at 10:18 PM ^
hey, those were "escorts"!!! ...good, family values escorts
February 11th, 2019 at 10:44 PM ^
I read “whoore” like Paula walnuts says it
February 11th, 2019 at 10:44 PM ^
I read “whoore” like Paula walnuts says it
February 12th, 2019 at 1:40 AM ^
You mean Ralphie. Not “Paula”
February 12th, 2019 at 8:35 AM ^
No, actually it was Paulie Walnuts, who pronounced it "hoouh." Ralph was a different character who actually murdered a whore (and was later choked to death by Tony), but didn't pronounce it quite like that. Hey, I'm a history buff, fuhgeddaboudit.

Tulane (2x), ULL (2x), Southern Illinois, Central Arkansas, UTEP, SE Missouri, Idaho, Troy, Wofford, Georgia Southern.
Yep, SEC plays the toughest schedules in the country.

I remember Amaker sheduled Wofford in basketball. I had no idea they actually had a football team.
Also, I realize Bruce Magdi created the term "vacate" regarding wins during the Fab 5 era, but vacating a win is still ridiculous. That excludes Penn St. Their fans went apesh*t over losing those wins. That was fun to watch.
February 12th, 2019 at 9:43 AM ^
Maybe it is just me, but vacating wins always seemed like one of the most hollow punishments that could be levied against a team. You cannot, after all, unplay all those games and you know how they turned out, so it seems like that, even symbolically, it does little to nothing other than add a smidgen of gratuitous shame to anything more impactful.
February 11th, 2019 at 8:54 PM ^
Does Ole Miss have 30 wins?
February 11th, 2019 at 8:59 PM ^
Not anymore
February 11th, 2019 at 9:04 PM ^
Yes, but they were all against Florida Lame & Halt.
February 11th, 2019 at 9:41 PM ^
William and Mary.
... mostly against Mary.
February 12th, 2019 at 12:18 AM ^
Leave Kareem Hunt out of this!
February 11th, 2019 at 8:58 PM ^
They played Presbyterian? I never knew you could play a denomination.
SEC non-conference is a joke. B1G should refuse to play them unless they travel up here. Doesn't even need to be on-campus. There are plenty of NFL stadiums up this way.
February 11th, 2019 at 9:00 PM ^
Not looking forward to Alabama's matchup against Lutheranism this fall. They have a score to settle
February 11th, 2019 at 9:08 PM ^
Lutherans are not ones to trifle with. They'll turn your gatorade into blood.
February 11th, 2019 at 9:24 PM ^
I thought Moses/Charlton Heston and his merry band of Fighting Hebrews had a monopoly on that trick.
February 12th, 2019 at 10:20 AM ^
Speaking of "Calvin", here's what President Calvin Coolidge had to say about the sport:
So in honor of President's Day, I'd say ol' Calvin got it right.

(edit #2: I meant to make that a reply to Quailman. Oops!
February 11th, 2019 at 9:23 PM ^
If Calvin College ever started football and played Alabama they'd be predestined to win though.
February 11th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
Alabama should watch out for the Pentecostals and one of their rapturous scoring outbursts
February 11th, 2019 at 10:20 PM ^
Fear the Amish.
February 12th, 2019 at 10:58 AM ^
The Amish don’t scare me. They just don’t look that intimidating in their leather helmets.
February 11th, 2019 at 9:53 PM ^
Scientology would crush them all.
February 11th, 2019 at 10:54 PM ^
Michigan should start scheduling the Christian Science Fighting Medicine Haters, the Unitarian-Universalist Fighting Question Marks, and the Jehovah’s Witness Fighting Doorbell Ringers.
February 12th, 2019 at 2:15 AM ^
You mean Notre Dame.
February 12th, 2019 at 8:39 AM ^
And let's not forget the BYU Unapologetic Polygamists.
February 11th, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
February 12th, 2019 at 12:19 AM ^
Might as well hang the banners, amirite?
February 11th, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
Do they vacate the losses where ineligible players competed as well?
February 11th, 2019 at 11:29 PM ^
They should count as two losses.
February 11th, 2019 at 9:32 PM ^
At the end of the day does it really hurt them if they vacate them or not? IMO this penalty is worthless and has very little impact on their program. Reducing scholarship limits and banning them from Bowl games really hurts a program much more.
February 11th, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
Vacating wins only really hurts teams that have enough wins to be meaningful. If Michigan or Ohio State or Texas or Notre Dame vacated wins, that would suck for that program.
But I guess you have to be fair and take wins away from everyone.
February 12th, 2019 at 1:53 AM ^
Seriously true. The ncaa is a joke. They have no consistency.
February 11th, 2019 at 9:42 PM ^
Catholic U. was not available.
February 11th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
Tell that to my bookie
February 11th, 2019 at 10:01 PM ^
Such an absolutely hollow, useless punishment. You can’t erase what happened in those games. People went and saw Ole Miss win.
February 11th, 2019 at 10:18 PM ^
That's it. Find all the ticket buyers and gouge their eyes out
February 12th, 2019 at 5:25 AM ^
a) I think it's damaging from a public perception standpoint.
b) I think it's a deterrent for other schools where the historical wins actually matter. Maybe the NCAA won't come down hard on OSU, Notre Dame, Michigan, etc., but the fear of that would hopefully cut off some illicit behavior.
February 12th, 2019 at 6:46 AM ^
Ahh, but the NCAA did come down on Notre Dame and Ohio State for being big ugly cheaters.
Remember that ND had 21 wins vacated from 2012-2013 due to academic misconduct and OSU had 12 games vacated from 2010 due to ineligible players.
You can throw in 29 vacated wins for Alabama, 13 for USC and 12 for Florida State.
Historical wins don't matter to these schools. Winning at all costs matters.
February 12th, 2019 at 8:42 AM ^
Didn't the NCAA take away a bunch of wins from Paterno, moving him behind Bowden in total wins -- and then gave them back ??!!!
February 12th, 2019 at 8:50 AM ^
BFD. I apologize for pulling the hair to the girl that i sat behind in 4th grade. i vacate my award as the nicest boy in 4th grade @ sacred heart grade school.
February 12th, 2019 at 10:04 AM ^
I'm shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked...
February 12th, 2019 at 10:18 AM ^
Two interesting things here. One, two of these seasons covers Houston Nutt. So, not only did he come back and take down hugh, but he also ended up costing them wins. Great job hiring coaches, ole miss. Two, all this controversy at ole miss and they still end up with a nearly top 20 recruiting class with 31 players. There are just so many players in Mississippi and the south that getting players is so damn easy, no matter what you do.
February 12th, 2019 at 11:45 AM ^
They should take the NCAA to court over this. It worked for those pedophile enabling apologists and delusional JoePa worshiping fucktards at Penn State.
