Cheating Scandal Rocks Florida State Football Program

Shocker, something bad happened involving Florida State.

Bobby Bowden might as well just call it quits now.

I'm not surprised that football players were caught cheating. I am, however, surprised that they showed up and actually took a test.

Damn 20 players from one team is pretty impressive. I remember there was a similar scandel like this at UVA about 7 years ago that cost them a few role players and their starting QB, along with a bunch of non athletes.

They are such a disgrace! Maybe they were voting multiple times from the same computer for ArmchairGM.com on the Openularity Web Awards???

I wonder if the kid that ratted out a good portion of the team has already transferred.

How many of these dumbasses probably wrote beside student name: ANSWER SHEET ?

Big surprise here. But hey, if FSU could bounce back from "free_shoes"_scandal this scandal, or this scandal, or this scandal, or this scandal, or...

Honestly, when athletics, not education, is the main front for all of these universities, what are you going to do? Some of these coaches and even the ADs are probably paying the school lots of money to protect these students. It's a crooked business that starts from college, and heads all the way to the NFL. Money is everything even at the expense of academics. Look at the standards, you have to be really dumb to fail in some of these places. Listen to the players speak, it's borderline retarded, yet the stat is that they were 4.0 GPA students, all-academics, you tell me this isn't a giant business.

FSU has too many football players and not enough college student athletes. Maybe an ethics class would do some good. The problem is we rush these “Football Players” thru college and make them millionaires, its business; BIG BUSINESS. And don’t think FSU is alone, its also happening in Alabama right now. The big problem is that we make these less than honorable athletes role models for our kids when they are really dirt bags with an arm or good hands.

Kick them out of the bowl, Troy State needs a bowl!

It says they will be suspended for the first 3 games of 2008 as well as the bowl game. I wonder which 3 games the Swofford and the ACC will start them out with next year.

I know this incident may sound typical of FSU, but check out this guy. There's more on Myron Rolle at the end of the article. Gives me hope the scholar-athlete still exists...

How quickly can everybody get to a sports book and bet on Kentucky before the bookies move the line on this game?

FSU should have to forfiet their wins since this all started prior to the season. Think about how that would shake up the BSC numbers????
