Football: St. Bonaventure forfeits league title, 11 wins

Ventura St. Bonaventure has forfeited 11 victories and the Channel League championship from last season after discovering that cornerback Troy Hill was a fifth-year senior and should have been ineligible, Coach Todd Therrien said.

Therrien said Hill arrived at St. Bonaventure from Ohio and apparently repeated his freshman year. St. Bonaventure did not learn that he had attended school in 2005-06 as a freshman in Ohio until Oregon alerted the school after reviewing transcripts.

Hill had signed with Oregon.
