The Bowl Championship Series unanimously decided to strip the University of Southern California of the 2004 national football title, BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said Monday. The championship was awarded after USC defeated Oklahoma 55-19 in the 2005 Orange Bowl.
The decision marks the first time a major-college football or mens basketball championship has been vacated since the polls began.
BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said there was no opposition to decision.
The presidents group operates by consensus, Hancock said, referring to the governing body of the BCS, which is made up of one president from each of the NCAAs 12 conferences and the president of Notre Dame. In this case, there was no opposition.
In keeping with BCS and NCAA policy, the title will be vacated and not awarded to another school.
