NCAA Vacates National Championship UT Earned in September

KNOXVILLE, TN – In an unprecedented move, the NCAA voted unanimously Monday to vacate the Division I Football National Championship that the University of Tennessee earned through the first four games of the regular season.

“This is a difficult decision for the NCAA,” said NCAA President D. Rick Dooley. “We know that the fans, who trumpeted to the world that the University of Tennessee had pretty much earned the National Championship because they weren’t publicly embarrassed in September for the first time in about sixty years, will be immensely disappointed.”

The University of Tennessee opened the season with four resounding September victories against Sun Belt Juggernaut Appalachian State, 1999 BCS Championship Runner-Up Virginia Tech, the Ohio University Bobcats (who still play football), and a Florida Gators squad that was without Tim Tebow.

October proved more difficult for the Volunteers, who required a Hail Mary to beat Georgia (you know, that team that just lost to Vanderbilt), and then lost consecutive games to Texas A&M and Alabama, who play in the SEC West, where good football isn’t against the law.

Tennessee fans hoped that a string of inconsequential victories in the first month of the season would be enough to keep their premature National Championship hopes alive, but apparently beating teams from the ACC, the MAC, the Sun Belt Conference, the SEC East, and the Monthaven League for the Blind is not enough to convince the NCAA to be as irrational as Jim Bob Vols Fan.

As noted in his thread, RB Jalen Hurd, one of their best players the past couple of seasons is leaving the program. That doesn't happen midseason unless a team/program is totally crumbling.

Tennecheat was one of the top programs in the country during the 90's and into the first half of the 2000's. Since 2005, they've been barely a blip on the national scene:

78-68 Record (.534)
ZERO Top-10 finishes
3 times in 12 seasons ended the year ranked (highest: 12th in '07)
6 Bowl Games (3-3)
ZERO major bowl-game appearances
ZERO conference titles
1 Division Title ('07)
4 Head Coaches (Fulmer/Kiffin/Dooley/Jones), 5 if you count interim Jim Chaney
1 Ten Win Season (10-4, 2007)
6 Losing Seasons
At least 4 losses each season
1-11 vs. Bammer (0-10 vs. Saban, last win '06)
1-11 vs. Florida
5-6 vs. Georgia
7-28 against top three rivals above

Began this season with high hopes. They were Preseason #9, but they've never appeared anything near worthy of that ranking. Escaped with a win at home against Appy State and a narrow win against Ohio showed obvious flaws, but they did race to a 5-0 start. Since then, they've dropped three straight, including a dismantling by bammer and a bad loss to a terrible South Carolina team. They sit at 5-3, but are a few breaks the right way from being 2-6. The rest of the schedule is manageable (Tenn Tech, Kentucky, Mizzory, and Vandy), but after last week, none of those appear to be a gimme.

DEAD PROGRAM
