And no, I don't think anything will happen to them.

This punishment is a joke.

And apparently the appeal by OU wasn't about 'deleting' the wins. Their point was that the 2005 Orange Bowl debacle should have been 'erased' as well.

By the way - they are losing 2 scholarships each year for 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. Does that mean next years team can only have 83 scholarship players and then the following year only have 81? Can someone fill me in on how that works?
