The following is a list of games ordered vacated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A). The list does not include forfeits imposed as a result of NCAA sanctions or wins from FCS, Division II, or Division III football.
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. [1]
Currently, the record for most wins currently recognized as vacated by the NCAA is the 37 wins vacated by LSU football as a result of Vadal Alexander being ineligible for his entire college career. [2]
Historically, the most wins ever vacated by a team at any point in time is the 112 wins vacated by Penn State football as a result of the Penn State child sex abuse scandal. These wins were later restored to Penn State’s record in 2015 as a result of a settlement. [3] [4]
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 once against an FBS college football program: SMU football for the 1987 season as a result of the Southern Methodist University football scandal.

In the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), a show-cause penalty is an administrative punishment ordering that any NCAA penalties imposed on a coach found to have committed major rules violations will stay in effect against that coach for a specified period of time—and could also be transferred to any other NCAA-member school that hires the coach while the sanctions are still in effect. Both the school and coach are required to send letters to the NCAA agreeing to abide by any restrictions imposed. They must also report back to the NCAA every six months until either the end of the coach's employment or the show-cause penalty. If the school wishes to avoid the NCAA penalties imposed on that coach, it must send representatives to appear before the NCAA's Committee on Infractions and "show cause" as to why it should not be penalized for hiring that coach. The penalty is intended to prevent a coach from escaping punishment for violations that he/she had a role in committing or allowing—which are generally applied to the school --by merely resigning and taking a coaching job at another, unpenalized school. It is currently the most severe penalty that can be brought against an American collegiate coach.

In American college athletics, a vacated victory is a win that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has stripped from an athletic team, usually as punishment for misconduct related to their sports programs. The team being punished is officially stripped of its victory, but the opposing team retains its loss—thus, vacated victories are different from forfeits, in which the losing team is given the win. The practice of vacating victories has been criticized by players and sports journalists, but remains one of the NCAA's preferred penalties for infractions related to past misconduct. Over 160 college football teams and 270 college basketball teams have had wins vacated.
