There is past precedent for this...as was mentioned, Wisconsin's second
place finish in 1992 was vacated and not given to anyone else.  And when
Plattsburgh State had its DivIII national title from the late 80s taken
away, the title was declared vacant and officially there is no champion
from that season.
 
Merry Christmas to all HOCKEY-Lers who celebrate it (I do, I just happen to
be on tonight for a moment)...
