After the 1984 season, it was discovered that the UNLV Rebels had used multiple ineligible players during both the 1983 and 1984 seasons. As a result, UNLV's win in 1983 over Fresno State was forfeited, adjusting the Bulldogs' record to 7–4 overall and 3–3 in conference play, moving them into a tie for third place in the PCAA.[1]
