NCAA continued from page 1 against LSU in 2013. Nutt’s record wasn’t affect- ed nearly as badly as Freeze’s was by the vacation. In the two years in question, 2010 and 2011, Nutt compiled just six wins, which were all va- cated. This equates to a 0-18 (0-15) record in his final two seasons in Oxford. “It’s the last part of this process,” Bjork said at the town hall in Cleveland. “In a way, it’s just a piece of paper because you saw those games.” The vacated wins an- nouncement on Monday coincides with the NCAA’s decision to hand Missouri a one-year postseason ban in football, baseball and soft- ball.

COLUMN Losses should be vacated along with Ole Miss’s wins JUSTIN DIAL [email protected]

Ever wonder why the NCAA doesn’t vacate losses? In short, it’s because the NCAA’s enforcement model is broken. Ole Miss was forced to vacate 33 wins over a seven-year span as the university’s final punishment in the NCAA’s case against Ole Miss. However, no losses were vacated from the record books. In the six seasons affected, Ole Miss took a total of 40 losses, but none will be vacated, regardless of whether ineligible players participated in those contests. Every single loss still counts. But what’s the point of vacat- FILE PHOTO: THOMAS GRANING ing losses? The stats, other than Ole Miss Donte Moncrief runs the ball past Alabama defensive back Eddie Jackson on Sept. 28, 2013.

So why do they stand? school some sanctions. On the overall records? I hate to break it to the NCAA, but vacating wins accomplishes little or nothing. Take University of Memphis basketball. In 2008, then-head coach John Calipari and his star point guard Derrick Rose made it to the Final Four against UCLA and the National Championship against Kansas, which they lost. Memphis was later forced to vacate the entire 2007-08 season because of Rose’s participation during the year. He was found to have been academically ineligi- ble. Everyone still remembers the Tiger’s run to the Final Four. Ev- eryone remembers Rose coming into his own at Memphis. Every- one remembers Calipari building his resume at Memphis. Everyone but the NCAA. Rose was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, and Calipari left Memphis for Kentucky after the champion- ship loss. The head coach of the program didn’t face any penalty, and neither did the best player on the team. They both went on to greener pastures: Rose to the NBA and Calipari to a high- er-profile job. 32062 This same thinking can be applied to Ole Miss football now. Hugh Freeze was recently hired as the head coach at Liber- ty University. If it weren’t for the personal issues that got him fired from Ole Miss, he’d likely be the head coach at another high-pro- file school or in the NFL. Everyone still remembers the big wins he brought to Oxford. The 2014 Alabama game won’t be forgotten anytime soon by the Rebel faithful. The same goes for the 2012 and 2014 Egg Bowls. The only thing vacating wins accomplishes is ruining a program’s win-loss record and postseason accomplishments. The head coaches who run these programs aren’t affected much; they’ll still get hired for their suc- cess at their prior school despite their updated and less impressive 32058 32061 PAGE 6 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | 13 FEBRUARY 2019
