List of vacated and forfeited games in college basketball

The following is a list of games ordered vacated or forfeited by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in college basketball.[1] The list does not include forfeits imposed by individual conferences.[2]

As a private association, the NCAA only changes its own records to reflect forfeits or vacations that its own Committee on Infractions has ordered, and not for sanctions imposed by individual conferences.[3]

Most games vacated and forfeited

In some cases, NCAA sanctions covered multiple years. The incidents resulting in the largest number of vacated and/or forfeited games are as follows:

  1. Louisville: 123 regular-season and tournament wins and 3 tournament losses vacated, covering four seasons (20112015). This includes the Cardinals' 2012 Final Four appearance and 2013 national title, making them the first Division I basketball program of either sex forced to vacate a national title. See 2015 University of Louisville basketball sex scandal.[4]
  2. Michigan: 113 regular season and tournament wins and 4 tournament losses vacated covering six of eight seasons between 1992 and 1999. See University of Michigan basketball scandal (also ).
  3. Syracuse: 106 regular season wins from 2004 to 2007 and 2010 to 2012.[5]
  4. Ohio State: 82 regular season and tournament wins and 31 regular season and tournament losses vacated covering four seasons from 1999 to 2002. See Jim O'Brien and NCAA Violations.

  18. Purdue: 19 regular season and tournament wins and 1 tournament loss vacated from the 1996 season.

In addition to vacating and forfeiting games, the NCAA has the power to issue other forms of sanctions. The harshest sanction is a ban on a school's competing in a sport for at least one year. Sometimes referred to as the NCAA's death penalty, this sanction has been imposed twice against college basketball programs: (1) the Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball program for the 1952–53 season; and (2) the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's basketball program (then known as the University of Southwestern Louisiana) for the 1973–74 and 1974–75 seasons.
