List of vacated and forfeited games in college basketball

The following is a list of games ordered vacated or forfeited by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in college basketball. The list does not include forfeits imposed by individual conferences.

As a private association, the NCAA only changes its own records to reflect forfeits or vacations that its own Committee on Infractions has ordered, and not for sanctions imposed by individual conferences.

Most games vacated and forfeited
In some cases, NCAA sanctions covered multiple years. The incidents resulting in the largest number of vacated and/or forfeited games are as follows, with all schools involved being Division I and all teams involved being men's teams unless otherwise indicated: In addition to vacating and forfeiting games, the NCAA has the power to issue other forms of sanctions. The harshest sanction is a ban on a school's competing in a sport for at least one year. Sometimes referred to as the NCAA's death penalty, this sanction has been imposed twice against college basketball programs: (1) the Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball program for the 1952–53 season; and (2) the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's basketball program (then known as the University of Southwestern Louisiana) for the 1973–74 and 1974–75 seasons.
