I hate the vacate wins thing. Just doesn't make sense. What if they won the national title? Then I'd guess they'd have to do what they did in the Duke / Lance Thomas deal and just say they can't do anything about it. If they are found with violations that are significant, then maybe vacate their bowl revenue, or get a reduction in schollies. This doesn't sound like much.

So what ever happened with North Carolina?

Agree. He kind of looks like another MU journalist - Dan McGrath , ex-Chicago Trib sports editor and now sometimes columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and still president of St. Leo here in Chicago I believe - he has a daughter at ND BTW - she agrees that MU and ND need to revive their rivalry to an annual thing. I sure do miss the Linebacker Lounge.
