Multiple suspensions likely for Music City Bowl, plus 3 games in 2008

As many as 20 Florida State football players will be suspended from playing against Kentucky in the Dec. 31 Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl, as well as the first three games of the 2008 season, for their roles in an alleged cheating scandal involving an Internet-based course, a source with knowledge of the situation said Tuesday morning.

Florida State officials are expected to announce the results of the investigation this week. The source said university officials determined Monday night the exact number of football players who will be suspended. The university isn't expected to immediately reveal the identities of the student-athletes involved in the alleged cheating.

"If the players fight the suspensions, they'll risk losing all of their eligibility," a source with knowledge of the situation said Tuesday morning.

I say running a clean program with a lot of sarcasm. I mean honestly, if the movie "The Program" was not directed directly at them, then I'm a total idiot (no comments please).

And it's going to be a real ugly game none the less Lefty. Up to 25 players being out hurts on special teams and possibly the 2 deep.

heard that more then 20 florida state players got in trouble for cheating, and won't be able to play against Kentucky, what do you think? fair enough?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Thirty-four Florida State players won't be going to the Dec. 31 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."

34 players. Wow. I heard it was for an online music class, to boot. That's pathetic right there.
