The NCAA’s denial today of Notre Dame’s appeal regarding its academic misconduct in 2012 & 2013 requires us to have a discussion about how we discuss vacated wins on this site.
This post will serve as helpful guidance on how our staff will be approaching this subject and the expectations we have for our commenters.
The facts are not in dispute. Notre Dame self-reported infractions involving a student athletic trainer who violated NCAA rules by engaging in academic misconduct on behalf of two football players. She provided six other football players with extra academic benefits, which is impermissible.
