Off-season scandals tarnish Seminoles' crown
The Associated Press
Seven months after experiencing their greatest moment, Bobby Bowden and his Florida State Seminoles are trying to recover from the worst off-season in school history.
Since beating Nebraska 18-16 in the Orange Bowl on New Year's night, the Seminoles have been rocked by a series of scandals that have taken some of the luster off their first national championship.
The problems include a rape charge against one player; another illegally recording a sexual encounter; another charged with reckless driving; and four others suspended as the result of a $6,000 shopping spree with agents.
"We didn't get much time to celebrate," Bowden said. "It seems like it's been one problem after another."
While the incidents were unrelated, their cumulative effect was to soil the image of the national champions and raise questions about whether Bowden, one of the nation's most popular coaches, had lost control of the program.
Bowden denies any wrongdoing, but admits that "like a general in the army, I feel responsible for the
actions of my troops.
"Some of our kids have made mistakes, and they're going to have to pay for them," he said.
It wasn't the kind of off-season Bowden had in mind after finally winning the national championship that had eluded him for so many years.
"After a while, you start to ask, 'Why me?' " said Bowden, who has more victories (239) than any active Division I-A coach except JatePaterno.
Bowden said he was disappointed but not shocked by the behavior of some of his players.
"It just shows that football players
are human beings, just like everyone else," he said. "They're as good as other people and as bad as other people. All you have to do is pick up the front page, and you'll see the same things."
NATURALWAY
Florida State hire a Kansas law firm to conduct an investigation into possible NCAA violations at the school, and the firm's report led to the four suspensions in the Foot Locker incident.
The NCAA still hasn't decided whether to do its own inquiry, which could lead to probation or other sanctions against the school.
