He’s a University of Florida dropout.
He may have done something so unethical when he was a student there that the school will have to forfeit its recent Sugar Bowl win.
UD sometimes wonders…
What’s the psychology of the reverse refudiated game? All that kee-razy school pride! That excitement! We’re Number One! … Does that vanish as if it never happened when the NCAA announces that you didn’t win after all? Do students at places like UF even give a shit about ex bribe facto dicta from distant organizations…?

I’ve wondered the same thing myself. Seems to me that the real satisfaction is exulting over the victory and rubbing it in the faces of your rivals. If it’s moved from one bookkeeping column to another five years after the fact, who really cares?
Plus, lots of places pretend that the vacated victories never got vacated. John Calipari has notoriously left scandal and vacated victories in his wake, but you wouldn’t know it by checking webpages. UMass still claims credit for a Final Four appearance, and Calipari’s own webpage does the same thing.
