If there was no money involved, I doubt they'd care. Taking away the "wins" officially was a way to make sure they could not capitalize on their past wrong doings with future profit. We can see how long it lasted. Frankly I can't see why any school would now accept these official record book dings if this one is removed.

The reason the wins should not count is that the games occurred pnwmom Jan 2015 #13
