UT Requests that Big East Vacate Syracuse's 33-30 Victory Due to Replay Error - University of Toledo Rockets Athletics Official Site - UTRockets.com
It's a valid request.

Replay will fix minor errors but leave this one the table. No doing anything is a horri-awful ruling.

While the victory may not be able to be awarded to the Rockets, the game should be ruled a tie and definitely not a win to Syracuse.
