My recollection is no.

2012. 39-0 L

I don't think it really matters. Vacating wins is about the dumbest penalty the NCAA can enforce. The games were played and we know who won. The players and coaches who played in those games are long gone for the most part. It's not like retroactively altered W-L records truly impact them anyway.

It'd be nice if they gad to forfeit post season payouts

I never said it really matters, but it does change the record in the books.

But even that apparently is uninspiring. If both games were reversed (not clear if all games were by the article):


Toledo would be 5-7 instead of 4-8 in '10

and

CJ would be 3-9 instead of 2-10 in '12.

Like I said, not worth the thread, I started. Just was curious.

We don't get a win, they just lose the win

I’ve been wondering why we care. We retain the loss. As said above, it’s dumb (the idea of vacating wins).

Regular season vacancies
In the case of regular season games, the penalized team's win is removed from its official NCAA record. The losing team, however, retains the loss, and individual statistics resulting from the subject game(s) are not affected other than for players declared specifically ineligible.[1][2] These changes affect the penalized team's season records, all-time records and coaches' records. Thus for example, a team that was 10-2 during a season in which it fielded ineligible players would have its record revised to 0-2. Any team or coach streaks (e.g. wins, postseason appearances, team statistical streaks) are terminated. The NCAA prescribes that all records that are changed should be asterisked with the footnote stating something to the effect of “Later vacated by NCAA action.”

I don't think we keep the loss, we just don't get a win. So Toledo was 4-7 instead of 4-8

well, that's even dumber.

I'm dumb sometimes, apparently
