Nice work, Noles…

Stay classy, Noles. No sooner do I rip your program for you out of control, in need of a Tasing football program and we hear about The Number 23.

Not the out-there Jim Carrey flick, but just shy of two dozen FSU athletes caught in an Internet cheating scam. You’re doing Emmitt Fitz-Hume and the rest of the GLG20s proud. (Obscure “Spies Like Us” reference… Arg, the pressure! I can’t take it!)

Two athletic department academic assistance employees have since resigned. Upwards of 17 of the cheaters are (were) on scholarship. The athletes represent nine different Seminoles sports programs.

The student could face punishment from the university (yeah, right) and loss of eligibility ofrom the NCAA. (We’ll see).

I’m sure more will come out and I’m sure when it does, it’ll be swept under the rug as it’s once-mighty Florida State.

Plus, the NCAA it working tirelessly right now to ensure no more Miami recruits are interviewed by local media members at Canes games. Definitely a case one can sink their teeth into….

  1. Chris, I always have to comment on your blogs because I love The U and all it encompasses. Let’s see if this week and of the college football shows or even during the game, the media mention this cheating going on at FSU. If it was Miami, it would be the first story on College Gameday. Since it’s FSU and the beloved Grandpa, Good ‘Ol, Media Friendly Bobby, it will probably not even be mentioned. You know there are more than one football player out of that 23 number. Fights and cheating…..that’s just this week. Yet nobody puts the heat on Bowden or the program – ever. Same thing up in Gainsville. Urban Myth is at least winning, so maybe he gets the bene fit of the doubt because it’s good times right now on the field. Like you said the NCAA warns the local media, not anyone related to our program, that they can not interview prospects for whatever reason. Meanwhile, the other Big Two have fights, cheating, firearms charges, and more. Can you say lack of institutional control?
