Cliffs notes:

Due to an assistant who used to coach at Barton County Community College providing improper support to Tyson Gay, Arkansas has to vacat 2004, 2005 titles Gay transfered to Arkansas from BCCC.

Arkansas now only has 40 NC's in TF/CC, all under John McDonnell, who just retired.

NCAA announced this in 2007, but they just made a final decision on Arkansas' appeal, which claims they would've won the NC's even without Gay, depending on how you divide relay points amongs individual athletes.

I almost would feel bad for them, if it weren't for those other 40 trophies. The titles were left vacant.

When I was at Arkansas for the indoor meet last weekend, I noticed they had changed their board to 40 NCs already. I didn't look, but I think they took the banners down too. What a shame.

On a side note, it was fun watching our XC guys beat the hogs at Regionals.
