The school will also be required to vacate wins from 2010 to 2014 and that could include their national title from 2013 when the Cardinals beat Michigan. However, there's no real course of action if the title is to be vacated as Yahoo's Dan Wetzel explains:

Wetzel doesn't have any insider information as to whether it will actually be vacated or not, but he is mostly just connecting the dots. The NCAA is going to wipe the program's record from 2010 to 2014 so it would make sense that the title might also be wiped. But to not give it to the other team that made the title game is absolutely ludicrous. No one will forget the teams involved in the game and who won it no matter what the NCAA says.
