When you hear 20 players have been suspended at the same time from the same football team, it usually makes you scratch your head. It makes you realize something isn’t right. Something’ fishy. What’s going on, you may ask yourself.

Until you find out those 20 players play for Bobby Bowden and FSU, where cheating, stealing, and beating people up is widely accepted, and often encouraged. The story, or at least what’s broken of it thus far.

“We have some players not traveling for one reason and some for another, including those who are ineligible for the bowl because of academic issues,” coach Bobby Bowden said in a statement released by the university Tuesday.

The word is that there was a “cheating scandal” going on around the FSU campus, and possibly up to 25 members from the football team were involved. You can’t blame the kids, and you can’t blame them for a couple of reasons. One, cheating is something everyone does in college. Two, they watched Peter Warrick do much worse and get away with it.

Of course Peter Warrick was better. And those Seminoles were actually playing for something. Steve Czaban interviews Bobby Bowden every Wednesday morning on XM Radio, and for the first time this fall that conversation will actualy be worth listening.

Oh, and if you’re like me and quickly ran to the nearest booky to bet on Kentucky, don’t bother. The game’s been yanked, and even once they find out who’s been supsended, I can’t imagine them creatively sorting out a point spread.
