Former Louisville players on the 2013 national title team criticized the NCAA for its ruling to have the championship vacated, but said that won't change what they accomplished.
"I don't care that much about the perception," Luke Hancock, the 2013 Most Outstanding Player, told ESPN. "And I don't think it changes that much. We won those games. It's not like that never happened."
"It's dumb," added former player Kevin Ware. "At the end of the day, the mistakes that Andre McGee made didn't have to do with us. The NCAA is a joke."
The NCAA Division I Infractions Appeals Committee ruled that Louisville must vacate records in which players competed while ineligible during the 2011-12 through 2014-15 seasons -- which meant that the school will vacate its 2013 national championship.
