I see that Florida State has been caught with a major violation involving academic cheating among 61 athletes across 10 sports. It involved Football and both men's and woman's basketball. This is their SIXTH time on probation. Can you guess their punishment? What amounts to a slap on the wrist.
Now, we of course deserved to be punished for what we did 6 years ago, but this is another clear example of how the NCAA looks to make an example of the "little" guy and letting the big money schools slide by. The NCAA is the biggest hypocritical joke. They have hundreds of rules, but they are selective in how they want to enforce them. It took us 6 years to get back to .500. FSU will bounce back from this in no time at all and will continue doing the same thing and will most likely get caught for a seventh time. Can you imagine if we had violations involving 61 athletes?? They would have shut us down!
