FSU's Potential Major NCAA Violation(s)

[Lauderdale]

These are only a few of the NCAA issues Florida State faces but strangely their fan base is in total denial of the seriousness of the issues particularly given FSU was on probation during the timeframe involved for academic fraud charges.

The New York Times has already pronounced FSU as likely guilty of Federal Title IX violations (the Federal Government has started their process).

I would assume that FSU is assembling a legal team much like Miami did but they'll have to add to NCAA representation experts in Title IX and Federal gender law discrimination.

From the NCAA Manual:

2.3 THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER EQUITY [*]

2.3.1 Compliance With Federal and State Legislation. [*] It is the responsibility of each member
institution to comply with federal and state laws regarding gender equity. (Adopted: 1/11/94)

2.3.2 NCAA Legislation. [*] The Association should not adopt legislation that would prevent member institutions
from complying with applicable gender-equity laws, and should adopt legislation to enhance member
institutions’ compliance with applicable gender-equity laws. (Adopted: 1/11/94)

2.3.3 Gender Bias. [*] The activities of the Association should be conducted in a manner free of gender bias.
(Adopted: 1/11/94)

2.6 The Principle of Nondiscrimination. [*]

The Association shall promote an atmosphere of respect for and sensitivity to the dignity of every person. It is
the policy of the Association to refrain from discrimination with respect to its governance policies, educational
programs, activities and employment policies, including on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, national
origin, race, religion, creed or sexual orientation. It is the responsibility of each member institution to determine
independently its own policy regarding nondiscrimination. (Adopted: 1/16/93, Revised: 1/16/00)

But you have a gift. Jerry, this is not your little comedy act. We're talkin' feature films.


We're talkin' federal crime here.

let them burn

i still remember those cowards wanting us to get the death penelty

 

[unionandsixth]

If a front-page article in the NYT doesn't trigger an investigation, then nothing will.

Somehow the school will get in trouble but nothing will happen to the football team as it is technically not a football issue...hope I'm wrong.

National Championship team in the state capital with majority of the electives in government alumni of FSU = a few heads will roll but none of the major higher up

Beat em on the field and use their cloud to beat em for a couple 2015 5stars. Karma baby!!

there's smoke, now we wait for the fire

 

[cowboycane]

You guys think something is actually going to happen here? They got to go to a bowl game the year it was found that the university had essentially set up an athletic department - wide cheating ring to keep players who were reading at a "3rd grade level" eligible. Ain't **** happening here.

our best chance to win the ACC is for FSU to get slammed with sanctions....amirite?

YAWN

 

[Canes2082]

All the bad things they wished on us.... Now their in the spotlight

 

[eliteproxy]

if this was 4/5 years ago when the NCAA was looking for something to plant a flag, they would of made something of this but now...they have much bigger issues to worry about... like their actual existence.

what i want to see happen here?

1. Tahlly PD needs to be ***** slapped by the feds and they need to be cleaned up.
2. FSU admins need to be investigated and get to the bottom of what actually ahppened
3. leave the football players alone. as much as I want to see FSU suffer, we all know what will happen here, Winston would be in the NFL and some random kid who wasn't even thinking about FSU at the time this happened will end up suffering because that is how stupid the NCAA is.

 

[JHallCanes]

The real question is how does Steve Spurrier feel about all of this?

 

[Rellyrell]

I could care less about the football team, but I do care about Winston. I want him along w/ the TPD and the admin to burn, IF it shows that he did indeed sexually assualt both females and true, intentional negligence was shown to cover up. Look i'm a football fan like the next, but I have no tolerance for predators. I don't think the football program should be disbanned, but Winston has no place in football, just like Darren Sharper.
