Didn't it involve some athletes and an athletic staff member? Anyway, I thought the academics were what universities were all about. Is that still true, Jerry? After the academics comes extra-curricular activities, party weekends, sports, sororities, fraternities, social conjugation, trips home to get the clothes washed, etc. Carts dragging horses? A.

[A. Leon Polhill] snip With the glory days of the 1990s in the rear-view mirror and a ruling from an infractions committee looming about "vacating" 14 wins between 2006-07 stemming from an academic cheating scandal involving several FSU players, Bowden assured that he's got more important things to worry about, like preparing his team for the fall. Over the last couple seasons, Bowden has found himself neck and neck with Penn State coach Joe Paterno for the all-time wins record. As it stands now, Paterno has 383 wins, while Bowden has won 382. A ruling against Bowden would all but end the race between the coaching greats. "Well, I don't like it," Bowden admitted. "I don't agree, but it won't bother me (if the wins are taken away). I won't lose a minute of sleep over it. [A. Leon Polhill] snip Florida State athletic director Randy Spetman was on hand Tuesday and also hopes the committee changes its mind. "I think our appeal was very well constructed," Spetman said. "The precedence shows that we ought to not have to vacate. ... (When we self-reported the scandal), I think we hurt our program pretty seriously, with scholarships and the like. We really worked not to have something like this happen again. And it's not an athletic issue. It's an academic issue, and so that's where I have a problem with it." [A.
