Would this have saved Todd Dodge's job?

Would this have saved Todd Dodge's job?

It would only affect one game that he coached, in his first year, so no.

Would this have saved Todd Dodge's job?

The answer to this question, no matter what the "this" is, is usually going to be no.

Repeat after me ASU, "We were aware of the violations...we just didnt know who to notify."

Apparently that works.

Usually these types of rulings just take away the wins from the other team but they do not award a win to the losing team (they do take away the loss though). So instead of being 2-10, he might end up 2-9. It's like the game never happened.

The article does say "forfeit" as opposed to "vacating wins." If they said what they mean and mean what they say, whichever games they apply the forfeits to should show up as wins for the other team.

The school offered to forfeit six football wins from the 2006 season, four from 2005, 15 men's basketball wins from the 2006-07 season, 12 basketball wins from 2005-06, three baseball wins from the 2006-07 season and five women's soccer wins during the 2005-06 season.

No 2007-2010 football wins mentioned, so no effect unless you want to beef up the final record of Dickey.
