FSU watched as the NCAA slapped the wrist of their ACC counterparts for an offense that was much more widespread than what took place with the Seminoles.
If the “leadership” of college sports’ governing body had half a brain, they would realize the double standard when it comes to this and change something – but we won’t be holding our breath on that one. I get that the argument is FSU athletes were the only ones getting special treatment in their case – but the NCAA lost all credibility in not punishing UNC for virtually the same thing.
It’s almost as if Florida State University would have been better off having one non-student athlete cheat back in 2006 so the NCAA would have looked the other way. That’s the message the governing body sent last week with their ruling.
No matter what the NCAA wants to say, FSU fans know that Bowden won 389 games during his career and the Seminoles are riding a 35 seasons bowl streak into this season. After the hypocrisy from this most recent ruling, it would be smart for the NCAA to realize that as well.
If I'm FSU I'm restoring everything. On official FSU sites. Official FSU record books. Media guides. Bowden's win, the bowl streak, the track national title.
ReplyDeleteWhat can the ncaa do to stop us? Nothing. They have no leverage or moral high ground to stand on. There's no chance they'd win a court case given their unc ruling.
They're finished.
Agreed. The NCAA just nailed their own coffin. Big time programs need to split off and get their BBall $$$ back. Makes the ACC QUICKLY a more profitable conference.
DeleteI am ALL about getting our track national title back for sure.
