Has a team ever had to forfeit an NCAA game?

[Eight Legger]

Oh, that's right. VCU did!

This one made me laugh real good

Legit question. Do they still get the NCAA Unit? It is based on TV revenue share with the NCAA...which i imagine will be clawed back by CBS.

How in the heck do you let this happen to your program?!?!? Did they blame the Oregon baseball team???

Will VCU put up a banner for this? 2021 NCAA COVID Forfeiters

I am hearing rumblings that the A10 tried to move the entire tournament up a week and keep it in Richmond - basically to give our teams a two-week COVID-clearing before the NCAA, but CBS refused to televise the Championship game unless we held it on 3/14. Hence the move to Dayton.

So if pressure from CBS really was a contributing factor in VCU's DQ, it would be ironic if they tried to claw back VCU's - and by extension the A10's - revenue share.

I am sure the NCAA, LSU, and the officials who worked the LSU/St. Bonaventure game are holding their breath that SB doesn't throw a positive test in the next 24 hours.
