NCAA hammers FSU…

The Grand Canyon

“…Football coach Bobby Bowden would have entered the coming season with 382 career victories, trailing Penn State coach Joe Paterno by one win on the all-time list. The sanctions will force him to forfeit all wins during which ineligible students competed in 2006 and 2007.

It is not immediately clear how many wins Florida State will have to vacate…”

Ouch…

I am not a FSU fan at all, and I have never been a Bobby Bowden fan, yes he can coach/recruit but his 381 wins need a * since he had to ask the NCAA to count his 31 wins at Howard/Samford since when he was there they was at a lower level of football and for some unknown reason, the NCAA granted that request which is how he caught up with Joe Paterno so fast in total wins.

But this is what I would call karma…

They won 7 games in 2006 and 8 games in 2007, even if 1 ineligible player played in 1 play it counts as a forfeit, so this could cost Bobby 15 wins which is 1/2 of what he asked for, so he didn’t lose as much as he should/could have.

As a school FSU got hammered hard.

I am happy JoePa will retire as the all time winnest coach since he earned it, but I find it sad that Bobby will be tarnished by stupidity and greed, but he knows the game and should have kept better control over his team, he has in the past turned a blind eye too many times, so this is for sure karma.

I bet this will be Bobby Bowdens final year at FSU… He has no chance of over taking Joe Paterno in wins now and FSU for sure won’t give him the time to do it since they just got spanked by the NCAA under his watch.
