“Oh who cares about the other sports we have here whose wins have, and actually will be vacated, and their championships, etc. stripped of them. We need to protect Bobby at all costs.”

It’s always about Bowden in these details that come out about fighting the NCAA ruling. I’ve never seen anything mentioned as to the impact to the other sports players. I mean I’m a big college football fan, but to not even care if something like our V-ball team (knock on wood) had to vacate wins is pretty pathetic. These students train their asses of (probably for as long and hard as any football team would do), and trained and practiced for years, and now they get a huge slap in the face because FSU is trying to save the image and wins of Bowden, while it doesn’t even seem to give two shits that other sports are affected, and is perfectly willing to throw them to the wolves for one man’s legacy (and I use that term lightly…cough….U of Mexico…cough cough).

The entire FSU alumni base, and the administrators should be absolutely appalled by what this has turned into. And it really hurts me, even though I don’t play a college sport, to know that not only do students of other sports involved have to vacate their wins, but that the years of dedication that the athletes of those other sports gave, that did follow the rules to bring glory to their university, who they gave their all for, are now being cast aside by the FSU AD, who obviously seems to not value or even respect the hard work, training and dedication that they showed to the university. But then they seem perfectly willing to bend over backwards to protect the legacy of a coach (unlike all the others who’s teams were caught cheating) and who allowed his own players to get out of control and violate NCAA policy, then shrug off any responsibility for it. Obviously the other team’s who cheated will lose their wins and championships because a few were involved, but it sure doesn’t appear to me that the FSU administration really cares to fight for those wins to be returned, but Bowden is totally worth throwing all of your other student athletes under the bus for.
