McCarney had 23. Louisiana had to forfeit his first year. Seth actually needs 1 more.

That’s not the way vacated wins work. When a team vacates wins, the wins don’t transfer to the teams they beat. Even UNT Facts and Records Book shows McCarney at 22-32, officially.

But it is the way forfeits work. The NCAA ruled Lafayette forfeit 8 wins in 2011. Lafayette also vacated two bowl wins.

This has always bugged me. Teams cheat and are told to forfeit wins, but the record books still show the original scores. 

If we don't show the record correctly,  I guess they didn't really cheat and it is okay that they did.
