   ng/forfeiting/whatever the word is this week any games - that's pretty much

   I seriously doubt this investigation will be over before the CFP championship   
   game, in which case, vacating wins won't have any effect on the players. It's   
   not as if the NCAA can say, "Give back any championship rings you received or   
   you lose all    
   remaining eligibility, immediately.

   A show-cause is not the same as a suspension. In fact, quite a few show-causes   
   include requirements that if the coach is hired, he has to be suspended for a   
   certain number of games.
