Scandal, rule violations, injuries deplete Florida State bowl roster

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Thirty-six Florida State Seminoles players won't be going to the Dec. 31 Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl against Kentucky because of an academic cheating scandal, other violations of team rules or injuries.
Linebacker Dekoda Watson, cornerback Patrick Robinson, who had six interceptions, and three top defensive tackles were among the players sidelined either as a result of the ongoing investigation into an academic cheating scandal at the school or some other violation of team rules.
"It is very important that the media make clear that those missing the bowl trip are not included because of either injury or for a violation of team policy," associate athletic director Rob Wilson said in a statement accompanying the travel list. "It would be irresponsible to imply or state that any or all of the student-athletes will miss the trip for one particular reason."
The school announced earlier this week that 25 of its players were included in its ongoing investigation of academic wrongdoing by the athletes. It didn't identify which students.

It really amazes me how Florida State isn't even on probation, much less facing major sanctions. If this were any less storied school, the NCAA would invoke the death penalty.
The NCAA f**king sucks. No punishment for USC even though Reggie Bush took money. No punishment for Florida State in spite of a track record of corrupt behavior.
The counter to all this is, "Well, if you're smart about it you won't get caught." But if you're dumb about it, shouldn't you at least face consequences? Suspending a quarter of the team for a bowl game they were expected to lose is hardly a punishment.

Atleast the Gators consider character a little bit more than these fools which is why there still successful.
