The NCAA announced Tuesday it has upheld its decision that Louisville must vacate its 2013basketball national title.
Louisville’s 2012 Final Four appearance and 123 victories also have been erased due to punishments stemming from an escort case.
Clemson coach Brad Brownell was asked what statement the NCAA made by vacating a men’s Division I national championship for the first time in modern NCAA history.
“Clearly, it shows you need to do things the right way,” Brownell said. “I heard a generality of it, so I don’t know what they went into or any of those types of things, but it’s hard to go back and vacate wins and what does all that mean and taking down a banner and those types of things.
