In the aftermath of the academic scandal that has befallen Florida State University football players, two things are clear.
First, any time you let students, let alone student-athletes, take an exam online, you’re obviously courting trouble. Apparently an instructor giving the same (Music and Western Culture) test year after year wasn’t sufficient help. What a travesty; the biggest academic sham since Deion Sanders pretended to be a student his senior year.
Second, FSU should be glad that Steve Spurrier’s no longer at the University of Florida. We know how he turned the Foot Locker flap into “Free Shoes University.” Imagine what he could do — and still might — with a team wracked by as many as 25 academic-fraud suspensions heading, ironically, to the Music City Bowl.
