Actually, they don't forfeit the wins -- to forfeit means they'd be recorded as an "L." These will be recorded as vacated -- that means they essentially never happened. That's a huge difference.
I'm not too ticked about the ruling. Anyone in this town knows Brad McRae (the manager of the dealership) is absolute sleaze.
He should have been disassociated a long time ago simply because of his mullet.
At any rate, the only real hit is a 2 year 2-scholarship reduction which was self-imposed already. The University has also disassociated from that dealership, a purely symbolic act since that dealership is now under new management.
As far as hurting Stoops? Oh hell no. We in Oklahoma (well, minus the Okie-lite fans) are all big fans of Stoops. As to his national prominence? Who cares what the W-L record was 2 years ago as determined by the NCAA? Stoops still did win those games.. everyone will know that except for the "official" stat books.
