ND to vacate wins for 2012 and 2013

Why would anybody want to play football for such a disgraceful program? Chronic under-achievers and cheaters to boot. Embarrassing.
 
When you're in love with a dome and a fight song nothing else matters if you are an eyes wide shut high school so called phenom.

I hate ND, but did you read what the violation was? IMO its not worth much more than a slap on the wrist.
 
Who cares

It especially should mean a great deal to you, jack.,,

You're the one that always wants to know when Pitt is going to get its next commitment..

Right now, ND, PSU, and WVU are our main competitions for recruits. Everything they do is of great importance to Pitt.

I hope that helps...

I really hope narduzzi goes after jurkovic hard and tries to get him to flip. I get the allure of ND, but I can't think of a bigger jackass to play for than Kelly, regardless of if the team is doing well or not. Jeter made that pretty clear that's what made him flip to Michigan.
 
That $5,000 fine will kill them.
This. The NCAA shows once again, you are supremely rewarded and almost never punished for cheating. EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS!!

So, ND "vacates" a couple seasons, which changes nothing except for a few asterisks, and pays literally the smallest fine imaginable. Most of their students could pay that fine and not even think twice about it. There was absolutely no consequence.

Yes, academic misconduct with a University paid/supplemented employee cheating for them. It happens everywhere (yes, that includes Pitt) but if it is only a slap on the wrist, why wouldn't everyone do it for every player?
 
My undergrad was athletic training - I wish I got paid/supplemented to do my clinical rotations haha. Instead my free labor for the University was more expensive per credit once I was in the School of Health and Rehab Sciences.

Realistically, student athletic trainers and student athletes view each other as other students, not with a University representative/athlete distinction.

Not sure about time period or school, but the ones I know got many perks from working with the athletic department. Especially those specifically working with the football and basketball teams.

First point... sadly, this is true! We see it time and time again.

Second point, I agree with this as well, however,Pitt has never been caught/seen to do this. You cant deny that we are probably the only one near Pittsburgh that hasnt been caught in some big scandal of some sort. Therefore, you have to assume that Pitt doesnt do these things with the veracity as other schools
 
And.... considering that 2012 game in which we lost in 3 OTs was the worst officiated game in Pitt history, and we should have won, it is only fitting that loss is stricken off our record books
