Sooner football forfeits eight 1972 wins
The University of Oklahoma changed its 1972 football record from 8 wins and no losses to 0 with eight forfeits after it was found that the second string quarterback Kerry Jackson had a tampered high school transcript. Eight victories including the Sugar Bowl loss to Penn State were forfeited amid ongoing investigations. Assistant coach Bill Michael resigned after admitting knowledge of the violations. Coach Barry Switzer said no other coaches were involved and blamed broader investigation by Oklahoma and the Big Eight Conference with possible NCAA involvement.
