Should make them pay for the wolfpacks trip. What a pisser
I like that idea. Their peach bowl was a classic.Well ECU has a bye week and nc state has a bye week. I say they play each other.
I have no problem with that, and think it is appropriate. NC State was obviously better prepared to fulfill the obligation.ESPN reporting that Dave Doeren said that Holiday Bowl officials presented them with the trophy and that NC State will count this as their 10th win in their record books....

Ol' well, guess the saying is true, as long as it is your color jersey doing it then its cool, if it's not it's stupid.... part of why I love college sports!
Handled poorly is being way to kindI thought the NCAA declared it "no contest" with no winner?
I haven't seen anything about them declaring State the winner.
I know Doeren said he/NCSU would count it as a win since they were ready to play and UCLA wasn't.
It does seem like the situation was handled poorly, especially with the communication.
It is my understanding that the ncaa called it a no contest. States official record is 9-3. I'm not sure why the Holiday Bowl crew decided to give State the trophy.I thought the NCAA declared it "no contest" with no winner?

i knew that was in play. It would have been better if the university just gave him the coin and he avoided his speech railing against the ncaa.It is my understanding that the ncaa called it a no contest.

Aside from that, my understanding is that NC State opt to treat it as a win for the program, essentially because they felt like DD deserved the bonus in his contract for bowl wins. From what I've seen, it wasn't done to claim any glory, it was to keep from shafting the coaching staff.
