Image of Navy stadium

Syracuse NINE National Championships
what part of 'vacated' do you not understand? syracuse cheated (paul gait played while ineligible)and the national championship was VACATED. syracuse was NOT the national champion in 1990. the 1990 championship is VACANT. as in, NO CHAMPION.the syracuse people apparently feel differently, but it's not for them to say. the ncaa says the championship for that year is VACANT!10-1=9. a claim of 10 championships with a footnote saying 'uh, really only 9' isn't good enough.Toyokuni3 (talk) 02:26, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand exactly what you are saying. However, the NCAA disagrees with your assessment of 9th vs 10th.  See .  If the NCAA official website calls it the "record tenth nat'l championship", (among other references) than that is what it is.  Otherwise we may be violating  WP:OR.  The article has a footnote that discussed this vacated championship.  Similiar to how the NCAA shows it in its record books.  (see ) -Mitico (talk)
 * Actually, the reference you cite at the NCAA website is just the press release that Syracuse released. There was no vetting of it and the official discipline still stands. AlbertHall (talk) 02:40, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * you will note that that 10th 'championship' is mentioned in the header only. in my not so humble opinion, a headline isn't much of a reference. nowhere in the copy of that article is the issue even mentioned. moreover, albert hall is absolutely correct. that is copy provided the ncaa by syracuse, and even they didn't have the balls to make more than a passing mention. this ain't over.Toyokuni3 (talk) 04:18, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Since this effects other years championships (some of which still need to be created) and the main page I'd like to move the conversation over to Talk:NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship. (Also to avoid two discussions) Toyokuni3  - I don't really have a horse in this race - I am just looking to be clear and consistent. Thanks, Mitico (talk) 12:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * as you will no doubt have noted, albert hall and i do have a bias here.i won't deny it.i have no problem with moving the discussion and letting it be decided on its merits. moreover, i understand your position entirely. i also have no problem with leaving the footnote. after all, the episode did occur.regards.

 * all right, i think i can live with that. but, by way of improving the article, a more recent pic of navy marine corps memorial stadium really is needed.(i have been an annapolis resident since the 80's.) this pic is before a multi-million dollar refurb and expansion in the early part of this decade. the whole of the bottom end (in this pic) is now enclosed and is 'luxury boxes', for want of a better term. regards.Toyokuni3 (talk) 16:59, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
