Florida A&M to be stripped of 11 titles for 196 violations
July 9, 2004
The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference plans to strip Florida A&M of its 2000 and 2001 football titles and nine other championships for 196 NCAA rules violations, most dealing with academic eligibility.
The proposed penalties were listed in a June 29 letter from MEAC commissioner Dennis Thomas to Joseph Ramsey II, FAMU's special assistant to the president for athletics.
The letter said FAMU, an NCAA Division I-AA school, would have to forfeit the two regular-season titles in football, and championships in men's tennis in 2000; men's indoor track for 2002; women's indoor track for 1998-99 and 2000; women's outdoor track for 1998-99 and 2000; and volleyball for 1999.
damn...well I know if they did an inspection or something on other schools they would find so mo violations...or not...not real big on sports.... :?

So since their titles for those years were stripped does it mean that the runners-up are considered the Champs? If so, I wonder how they feel about having a hand-me-down title.
