TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - An academic cheating scandal could
leave Florida State without many top players when the Seminoles go
against Kentucky in the Music City Bowl on December 31st.
School officials say that several athletes will be ruled
ineligible for the bowl as well as games next season for their
roles in a cheating scandal.
Federal privacy laws prohibit the school from releasing names.
Coach Bobby Bowden has not answered questions on the cheating
scandal that resulted in one full-time academic adviser and a
student tutor losing their jobs this summer.
The university reported its findings in a letter to the NCAA in
September. A six-month investigation revealed at least 23 athletes
in various sports were implicated for cheating on tests.
At least two Seminole football players already have been
penalized for their involvement.
