    Didn't the LSU track team come in 2nd last year behind FSU?

    Would FSU have to forfeit the NC?

    It's my understanding that FSU will vacate their wins, but that's not the same as forfeiting. In football the term vacate means your wins are removed, but your opponents' records remain unchanged. As best I can tell for championships it's similar, another team is not awarded the championship but in true NCAA form they merely apply a footnote in the record books.

    It's confusing and hard to get a clear cut answer, but it does seem more about removing recognition rather than rewarding someone else.

    Someone else I know said the same and I believe you are correct.

    WHich actually sucks for the Track Team who did all they could to come out 2nd to ineligible athletes who should not have been there.

    Its funny how they took action against this so fast and USC incidents are basically disappeared and IMO theirs is the worse out of the two. Internet Classes etc. vs Paying for players & families homes, players staying in houses that everyone knows they can't afford list goes on.

    The Daily Reveille talks about this in an article Tuesday morning - http://www.lsureveille.com/1.1601679

    It seems to me that this part pretty much says what will happen...
