1987 PSU team

Re: 1987 PSU team

No, it happened - I was there. The NCAA has no credibility any more - no more vacated titles, Heisman trophies, wins, or anything else. They're more corrupt than anyone they've ever investigated and sanctioned (well, maybe except the U of Miami!). UNC is worse too, but the NCAA won't investigate an actual academic scandal.

Does Plattsburgh have the trophy?

Even Joe P got his 501 wins back !

Yes

The 1986 runner-up trophy (which was also vacated) is still in the display case in the lobby at the Ronnie B.

The 1987 championship trophy, from my understanding, is on display in Coach Emery's office.

LoL ...game...set...match thanks Nate lol

Has anyone heard more on the proposal to overturn the vacancy? I know a lot of people were pretty ticked off when a certain school was told "not to do it again" after they handed out basic full ride scholarships to 98% athletes after winning a championship, yet Plattsburgh still gets stuck with the * for doing much less. As Steve said, after all the NCAA let's teams/players/coaches get away with these days, had 1987 been 2007, I couldn't see anything other then a slap on the Neumann wrist. IMO its time to give the proper credit and dues publically to the players who earned and won the darn thing. To some it will continue to be a cute little punch line, but for those who were there, played, coached, supported we know what happened. I'm sure if you asked a few Non-Cardinal DIII players during that time anonymously from other top notch programs, there were several "Plattsburgh's" (or Plattsburg's for those who would be confused) going on. I still don't believe A. Plattsburgh was the only team out there doing such (no it doesn't mean its right), and on the same note B. Those extra benefits were not the ONLY reason why they chose to go to Plattsburgh (a few phone calls home *no cell phones*, a few Montreal Canadien trips, a few dinners and housing help does NOT equal giving out scholarships to 98% athletes sorry...I mean a few perks or a free ride to school hmm). I really wish the book would have come out so we could read some of the conversations and interviews.

So if someone broke into Norwich's trophy case and stole a trophy, Norwich (or Oswego or Elmira - never mind Elmira) wouldn't have won the title? I have video evidence Plattsburgh did win it...

In that case, sorry for overreacting. I read it as some sort of dig...
