Ugh. I'm glad they're being public about it and not trying to sweep it under the rug. Bowden should be embarrassed.

And Bowden just got a raise. Go figure.
I know every year, every team has 1 or 2 or 3 incidents such as this, but 1/3 of the team?
I'm sure that pretty soon we will have a steroid scandal to deal with

A few of my friends got busted. (two of them being football players)
What happened is that when the athletes went to a testing center there was one tutor who went into the room with them and gave them the answers without their asking. Not that big of a deal, but FSU would rather deal with it themselves than let the NCAA get involved. This is a good excuse to revoke sub-par players' scholarships to make room for the incredible recruiting class that FSU has coming in this year.
Luckily, I got to bet money on this game a week before it was announced because some boosters told me this was coming. I'll win a lot of money betting on UK at -1, it was a good bet BEFORE the suspensions.

EXCELLENT display of school spirit. Nice loyalty.

Well, whatever the reason is for not allowing these guys to play, maybe it will do some good. Maybe, just maybe, some of the dummies who already cheat will get a clue and stop doing it, if nothing else, for the simple reason that they may not be able to play anymore.

Was this one of the two Florida teams that got into a brawl on the football field last year and resulted in suspensions? Looks like Bowden can no longer control his boys.

No, that was FIU and Miami. Was that a serious post?

If you only knew how many of our boosters bet huge money on Kentucky when they heard this news... the line for the game actually closed two days before the announcement.

So not only are you attesting on a public forum to the academic cheating at FSU but also widespread illegal gambling. You're flippin' brilliant, chief.

Its not illegal gambling, theres a place called Las Vegas where you're allowed to do it. Theres also this thing called the internet that you're allowed to gamble on. If you're referring to the inside tips I received, its not illegal either, this isn't the stock market. Unethical... maybe, its hard for me to feel bad taking money from the same casinos that thrive off people becoming addicted to gambling and ruining their lives. I'm going to be a big booster for FSU when I graduate so I will always be privy to this information, might as well recoup some of the money that I'm going to donate to the school now, while I can actually enjoy it (Kentucky win= bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue).
Chief.

This is not exactly settled just yet. The UIGEA has been passed but still a gray area.
