As Expected, Florida State to Appeal NCAA Sanction on 2006-2007 Victories

Florida State -- hey, remember when they were good? -- is challenging the punishment handed down by the NCAA on Friday in relation to an incident of academic fraud perpetrated by athletes across many of its sports programs. No, not the entire punishment, but simply the NCAA order that Florida State "vacate" all victories achieved with ineligible athletes stemming from that incident. You can call it the tip of the NCAA's spear.

Its safe to say this is being done in the name of Bobby. Simply put, legendary football coach Bobby Bowden's dimming hopes of outlasting Penn State's Joe Paterno for the all-time Division I NCAA victory mark are kaput if the ruling is followed through. The Seminoles are playing the unknowing victim card, but will it work?
