Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good. -
Yeah, don't even get me started. They have stripped Bama of 30 games since 1993, the bulk of that was horseshit Just a horrible penalty that you can never recover from."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Without the vacated and forfeited wins, Bama would be #2 in total wins. Only 23 wins behind Michigan who has 12 more seasons on the books. As it is, we have to take the bitch seat of #4 on the list."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

That's right. Dropped from #2 to #7 in total wins (if you count now non Div1a Yale - I don't- they have not been Div1 in nearly 40 years). 6th otherwise.
The #4 was a typo. Or I was thinking about win% (which is #4).Last edited by AlabamAlum; August 4, 2018, 09:28 PM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Bama's record without the vacated and forfeited wins:
920-319-44. 0.734. Good for #1 in win percent (and #2 in total wins with 12 fewer seasons).
The 9 forfeitures were justified, though (although they should have been vacated, really, not forfeited, but whatever). The 21 vacated wins was pure horseshit.Last edited by AlabamAlum; August 4, 2018, 09:26 PM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

But I would much rather talk about the fact that over the last 10 years, Michigan has become the Mississippi State of the BigTen (did you see who the Wolverines were tied with in total wins over the last 10 years?)
As a follow up, now that it has been more than 20 years since Michigan has won even a partial NC, has M thought about joining a conference they can be more competitive in (like the MAC or maybe even the Missouri Valley)?Last edited by AlabamAlum; August 4, 2018, 09:53 PM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

I can't wait for the season to start. We are spreading way too much bullshit out of boredom."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Bama vacated 21 wins over a book loan program. We don't give student-athletes a book, we loan it to them, so there is no re-sale possible. A glitch in the computer program allowed some athletes to borrow books for courses they were not registered in. Some athletes borrowed books for their friends.
The glitch was discovered when a tennis player brazenly walked in with her boyfriend and picked up a textbook loan for him. He was not a student athlete. The clerk reported it to the bookstore manager who in turn reported it to UA compliance.
We fixed the glitch, self-reported to the NCAA, and then made every athlete who had inappropriately borrowed a book make restitution. There was no competitive advantage and most of of the inappropriate book loan fees were under $75. A number were under $3 (exam booklets not required for their courses). Bama football did an audit and found that only 5 football players had abused the system in 2007. All 5 students were suspended as soon as it was discovered (the week of the Tennessee game).
Book issues were a common problem for NCAA compliance, but most involved schools who gave the students the books (students would get an extra book and sell it at some schools). The most egregious case was probably Ball State. The coach had actually told some kids about it in case they needed extra funds and the issue was a known problem. Administration had been told about the issue on numerous occasions, but never fixed the problem. They lost three (3) scholarships.
Anyway, after we reported it, the NCAA complimented our compliance and quick fix of the situation, thanked us for letting them know, and summarily stripped 21 wins from the football team. A penalty more severe than any book issue in their database history.
It was horseshit. I will not be happy until the NCAA is shuttered, razed, and rebuilt from the ground up.Last edited by AlabamAlum; August 5, 2018, 07:36 AM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment
