In this series, we’re going to look at how the Times and other media entities have used loaded language, irrelevant details, and inference to portray the FSU football program as monstrously out of control and Florida State University, Tallahassee, and local law enforcement as willing to conspire and bend the rules to benefit their local football heroes.

college football has become a cartel. it’s hard to believe that it used to be about colleges, but that’s the farthest thing from the truth today.

the whole thing should be burned down and rebuilt from scratch.

Someone suggested that there was corruption at Free Shoes U? I’m shocked. Next thing you know, someone will raise the issue of football players being busted for stealing crabs, or having dope in another state (hint - keep it in Florida and all will be fine), or sexual assault.

Perhaps they are concerned about this story from 2011? Nope, that was CBS. http://miami.cbslocal.com/2011/03/02/college-footballs-criminal-problem/ “Florida State is one of the school’s that did not perform criminal background checks on recruits.”
