RE: NCAA to finally impose Michigan Sanctions

[Keith Wedinger]

That gives me an idea for the next bearcatnews.com poll:

Should UC change the 1992 Final Four banner to reflect Michigan's
forfeiture of the 1992 national semi-final?

The relevant sanction being:

"The forfeiture of 112 regular-season and tournament victories from five
seasons, plus its victory in the 1992 NCAA semifinal."

They must also take down their 1992 NCAA runner-up banner from Crisler
Arena. 

So, once the NCAA annouces the sanctions - we are officially 1992 NCAA
runners-up.  Not the way you want it to happpen (we should have beat
them in the first place), especially since we didn't get a chance to
actually play for the title, but the NCAA books will now reflect it.

BTW, how does Juwan Howard get out of this squeaky clean?  The other 4
are all named specifically.
