When was the last time we had a major team forfeit a game? (Not a “removed years later in an investigation” but a true in season forfeit)

[u/AeolusA2 → u/sqigglygibberish]

Good question. I found this:

"Holy hell. Could you imagine if a team played an ineligible player nowadays? The NCAA would absolutely murder Mizzou"

Man, I'd forgotten the Mizzou death penalty jokes had been going on for that long. Made me laugh seeing a 6 year old comment using the same jokes that are still being used today.

the SEC likely has no power over non conference games, but I don't know the intimate details of member contracts tbh

[u/Mobile-Analyst8580 → u/buttscarltoniv]

They have to have some power over what their members do in non conference games. 

[u/buttscarltoniv → u/Mobile-Analyst8580]

yeah, I would assume so, and I definitely worded that wrong.

I know the non conference game will typically be officiated by the home team's conference refs, but I believe that is done at an individual game contract level, not member contract level. I assume things like the P4 non conference game requirement is member contract level since it was voted on by all the members.

edit: very confused by downvotes here? lol I admitted poor wording and then just spitballed examples of the SEC having power over non SEC games

[u/sqigglygibberish → u/buttscarltoniv]

I don’t think the referees really factor in. If the team is using an “ineligible player” then the conference or ncaa would be stepping in to enforce a punishment.

My best guess is they (SEC) would try to call LSU’s bluff - and if LSU does play one of these guys then may try to vacate the win after the fact? But that’s the nuclear option, have to think the conference and LSU will try to get on the same page

[u/buttscarltoniv → u/sqigglygibberish]

I wasn't talking in terms of what the SEC would do to LSU, I was just giving examples of the conference having power over non conference games.

[u/sqigglygibberish → u/buttscarltoniv]

That isn’t super clear in the comment. It reads as a direct response on what may happen for this situation

[u/buttscarltoniv → u/sqigglygibberish]

I honestly don't know how it reads that way, but fair.

[u/sqigglygibberish → u/buttscarltoniv]

Because there was no setup. If you just launch into talking about refs it feels like either you think that’s how this would play out, or are commenting a nonsequitur

I think if you said - “how conferences are involved with non-con games is fuzzy, for example… refs” it would be a lot clearer what you were attempting to say

Otherwise it’s a whole comment about refs that doesn’t really make sense in the flow of convo

[u/buttscarltoniv → u/sqigglygibberish]

the set up was "powers that the SEC has in non conference games" though. I feel that was fairly clear, but again, that's fair. apparently it wasn't.
