Saw this over the break and hadn’t seen it posted on here yet. Of course this was the tainted victory over the GRIZ in the championship.

So does this mean the vacated title goes to Montana?

what ?

. . . findings determined that nine members of the Northern Colorado men's basketball staff, including Hill, were directly involved in the violations, "which included completing coursework for prospects, paying for classes the prospects needed to become academically eligible and arranging off-campus practice sessions with an academically ineligible student-athlete," according to the NCAA panel's findings. Hill admitted his failure to carry out his duties and two coaches on his staff were found to be in violation of ethical rules for providing false and misleading information during the investigation.

Why are they leaving out the payment to officials for even breathing on Beitzel ? I was at every game of the conference tournament there. It was absolutely the most one sided officiated I've ever seen in a conference tournament, NCAA tournament, or NIT tournament. The whistles were blowing as any player approached him. Yet, UNC could beat up NAU and GRIZ players, with very few whistles. lol

Those two games were tough to watch. I personally thought NAU got screwed even worse than the Griz. Before the Griz game I remember worrying it'd be similar to the NAU game and unfortunately it was. Would've been neat to see that Griz team get a shot in the NCAA tournament for Qvale's senior year.

Does the title actually transfer or does it remain vacant?

It remains vacant.
