Who knew Alabama Track and Field was dirty. Did football players go on the team or something?

Georgia shouldn't because they barely have any titles to claim.

Also is the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa Branch the only SEC institution that has forfeited games in BOTH football and basketball? I will hang up and listen.

I'm surprised in that Arkansas had two national titles in track stripped from us but not the SEC titles we won those years. LSU had a natty taken away from their women's team but I think they were upset in the SEC championship meet.

Fun fact, we should have 2 ACC football titles, but one got vacated in like ‘66 or ‘67 or something.

The LSU women’s track program had a national title revoked in 2012 because one girl was juiced. Otherwise I can’t think of anything

Its record is listed at 5-5 in the media guide. A few players are recognized for All-ACC and other postseason honors.

But a glimpse at page 91 of the ACC media guide shows what transpired that season. The page includes a list of all-time conference champions. At the bottom right is a box entitled "1965."

It reads: "Duke and South Carolina finished the 1965 regular season tied for conference leadership with identical 4-2 league marks before ACC Commissioner Jim Weaver ruled that the Gamecocks had violated league rules in regards to the eligibility of two players and were required to forfeit all conference games in which the two players had participated. Due to the forfeit wins they received, N.C. State and Clemson, which had both lost to South Carolina, were declared ACC co-champions with 5-2 records in league play."

According to the archives of The State and The Daily Gamecock, an investigation by the ACC found that three players - two varsity players and one on the freshman team - were receiving athletic scholarship money from the university despite not qualifying academically for the funds. The players' names were never divulged.

In a column by former State sports writer Herman Helms, a source in the athletic department said each player received between $75-$100 for meals and textbooks.

Those are only the ones who were caught. The reality is that if the NCAA was serious about punishing cheaters then there would be no SEC champions in any sport because they all would be vacated.
