With Syracuse vacating 9 league wins from 2012, Marquette is now the 2012 Big East regular season champs. Also gives us back to back titles in 2012 and 2013. Way to go, boys!

Will the spirit store sell t-shirts?
-
Even when we suck, we win Big East titles.

It doesn't really work that but, hey, I'll take it!

Why wouldn't it?

Crank up the banner making machine!

Is there enough time to get the players back to Milwaukee for a halftime ceremony tomorrow?

The title is vacated. It isn't given to the runner-up. It's not a beauty contest.

Who finished first in the Big East in 2012?
Marquette.

Yup.

STOP....BANNER TIME! (this is a double entendre because we will both simultaneous get a banner and Boeheim will be banned...for a duration).

Well played, sir, very well played 8-) 8-) 8-)
-
Sing it with me....
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, NO TIME FOR LOSERS BECAUSE WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, of......THE BIG EAST.
-
So Boeheim loses 108 wins, but the other coaches will still have those losses. So when you add up everybody's wins and losses, they won't match.

With the scholarship reduction does this put any of Syracuse's recruits in play?

Does this mean we made the Final 4 in 2013 then???

Damn, beat me to it.

Unfortunately no. In typical NCAA fashion, this didn't have any impact on Syracuse's 2003 national title or 2013 Final Four appearance. Just by chance it was all the years in between.

Maybe:

I know nothing about any of these guys and where we may be with them.

From the sound of things, if they have committed players they can put off the scholarship penalty until 2016-17. Right now, I believe they have 1 opening for next year, so they can either shed two scholarships or have two players transfer. I doubt they will get rid of any of their incoming freshmen, but sophomores Ron Patterson (once a MU target) and Chinonso Obokoh have been bit players that could easily be shuttled along, while senior Michael Gbinje (recruited by Wojo at Duke) may be able to transfer as a graduate student with one year of immediate eligibility.
Christmas graduates and they get rid of two of those three and they can start the scholarship reduction next year. It wouldn't surprise me if we saw transfers, it would certainly make it easier for the next coach as after this I find it unlikely Boeheim will be there for all four years of the penalties.

Wrong.
The title wasn't vacated... the wins were vacated.
So either Syracuse has an empty title or Marquette does. Take your pick.

If we get to pick, I'm totally going for the "Marquette does" option. Better an empty title than no title at all :D

Mods should put up retroactive big easy champions on the banner. Better than looking at loss after loss on the scoreboard

That would be pretty neat.

How does it work in the Olympics? The silver medalist would be awarded the gold if the winner was found to be cheating, yes?
To hell with a vacated title, Cuse lost it so therefore we won. My only regret is they won't be playing here any time soon to see our new banner.
-
It's sad that things have gotten so bad that people are celebrating a championship that we didn't win on the court.

Lots of variability among sports, and sometimes even within a sport.
I believe Final Four spots of teams that are subsequently disaqualified are just left blank, while the Olympics gives it to the next finisher.
Cycling is kind of situational. Most Tour de France winners who are subsequently disqualified are replaced by the runner up, who is listed as the winner. But then when Lance was disqualified, they just vacated all seven - I think an acknowledgement that the entire field was probably doped up those years.
