Rupp did not accept the NCAA bid because his seniors were deemed ineligible after the fact. Keep in mind these kids were older because there had been a war going on and kids did not start college till 46 and 47 as they were being released from the armed services. Not exactly a normal run of events as World Wars have not occupied a great slice of the timeline of college sports.
