Voices on campus: Vacated football wins

“Honestly, I think vacating our wins is kind of pointless. We were all there for a lot of those. We know that we won in actuality. Alabama knows that we won those games, so you really can’t take that away. I just find it kind of pointless and kind of stupid. I was there. I experienced it. It is still there in my mind.”

“My opinion would be that everybody does (what Ole Miss did). Every major institution that has a competitive athletic football program, especially in the SEC, does that. They should just pay the players. It really is just an issue with the NCAA. That is how I feel. I just really don’t like the NCAA. Multiple notable people have spoken out against the NCAA and talked about how corrupt they are and how they just profit off of people. That is really how I feel.”

“I think the NCAA taking away our wins is unfair. We are students, and we are actually at the games. And while they might think their rulings are true, we were the ones that were actually there, and we witnessed the wins. We are the ones suffering with the repercussions.”
