Ohio State vacated all 12 wins from 2010, including a vacated Sugar Bowl win (Arkansas, 31–26) due to NCAA violations. The Buckeyes are officially recorded as having finished the season 0–1, with the only game not vacated being a loss to Wisconsin.
On July 8, 2011, in the wake of NCAA violations for improper benefits to student athletes and the subsequent cover-up, Ohio State vacated all of its victories, as well as the conference and Sugar Bowl championships, from the 2010 season as self-imposed sanctions.[4] Since then the athletes who received the improper benefits have called for the team's wins and records to be reinstated following changes in the NCAA's name, image and likeness rules in 2021, despite the NCAA stating that it had no plans to re-evaluate or reconsider any previous penalties related to those rules in July 2021.[5][6] In May 2022 the Ohio House of Representatives adopted a non-unanimous symbolic resolution calling on the NCAA to reinstate the team's wins and records.[7][8][9]
