812, I regret you took it that seriously. It is solely my own holiday wish. Don't count on the NCAA doing something that righteous.WIU0812 wrote:Is there an article or announcement somewhere that you can link to? I was unable to find any info other than there was a fight after game.

It'd be nice, but yea...the NCAA doesn't really do that kind of stuff. If the fight was really bad, they might suspend specific players who would be coming back next year for a few games or something (or a season...or even permanent ban depending on severity of the situation). They wouldn't really get into taking away $ from an online contest where the money was given to a school's scholarship fund.
I will admit, you did have me going for a minute or two when I first read that (so don't feel bad 812).
My thought process was kinda like:
"holy crap...really?.....no....wait.....NCAA wouldn't do that.......would they?...it'd be awesome if they did...but.....searching google....searching espn.....searching cougarboards.....no mention of it.....yea, he's just messing with us.....nuts"

It had to be the word "vacate" that really got you going, right? Not sure I used it properly, but it sure sounded good at the time.

Ha.....Seal!!!!!!!!!!! I too was duped and super excited. I thought, they haven't been awarded the money yet? Perftect timing!!!!!
Would have been nice, the NCAA could have sent WIU a check and they could have doubled down on tonights game at Memphis. They're getting 18 points right now. Have Ray Liotta as Henry Hill offer some of their players a percentage of that to shave some points.......still have the recent 30 for 30 in my head!!!!!!

I agree. But the Big Mac hoax was already taken (and I fell for it).RedNeck wrote:Seal, kinda Douchish Brother.
