Vacated
On July 14, 2011, Georgia Tech was forced to vacate the win due to an NCAA investigation. The NCAA accused Tech of fielding an ineligible player during the game, and although they were unable to obtain evidence that an ineligible player had been played, the NCAA concluded that the investigation had been hampered by Georgia Tech's administration. This was taken as evidence of wrongdoing, and penalties for playing an ineligible player were imposed.

Famous quotes containing the word vacated:
“Power, in Case’s world, meant corporate power. The zaibatsus, the multinationals ..., had ... attained a kind of immortality. You couldn’t kill a zaibatsu by assassinating a dozen key executives; there were others waiting to step up the ladder; assume the vacated position, access the vast banks of corporate memory.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
