Florida State vacates wins
NCAA Football Betting Lines
02/07/2010 -
Tallahassee, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Florida State's athletic department
officially announced the vacating of wins relating to last year's academic
fraud violations, including 12 for football under former head coach Bobby
Bowden's watch.
The NCAA had denied an appeal by Florida State last month to overturn the
vacation-of-records penalty. All that was left was Sunday's determination of
which contests the ineligible student-athletes participated.
The NCAA's Division I Committee on Infractions originally levied the records
penalty, along with a four-year period of probation and reduced scholarships,
in March of 2009 for major violations across 10 sports involving 61 student-
athletes during 2006 and 2007.
The 12 football wins include the Seminoles' Emerald Bowl victory following the
2006-07 season as well as four regular-season wins from that year and seven
the following season -- ultimately trimming Bowden's career win total to 377.
Bowden stepped down as FSU's head coach after the Seminoles beat West Virginia
in the Gator Bowl this past year. His original total of 389 wins was still
second-most in major college football behind Penn State's Joe Paterno.
In addition to the football program, the university loses a men's track and
field championship in 2006 and postseason wins for both the baseball team and
women's basketball.
