One thing to keep in mind here is FSU could and likely will receive harsher punishment from the NCAA from the academic scandal. Will it be so harsh that it will significantly effect the competition for years to come? Yes and no. It depends mostly on what happens to the program but keep in mind that this was an athletic department wide issue and not just a football team issue. There for expect the punishment to effect the department as a whole rather then just one particular sport.
"But football had the most athletes involved!" Yes they did but there are also 80-90 some athletes on the team. They make up the majority of the total athletes in the department. Any kind of accusation that amounts that FSU was covering up anything with regard to this scandal is at best preposterous. We will wait and see what happens.
Review of self-imposed punishment:
- Requiring all student-athletes with remaining eligibility, regardless of the grade received, who were enrolled in the course during the semesters in question, to retake the course for a new grade;
- Instituting significant changes in the format and structure of certain online courses;
- Implementing significant changes in the structure and processes of the Athletics Academic Support Services (AASS) unit;
- Contracting with an outside consultant to conduct a review of the AASS unit;
- Reviewing all online courses and requiring that all exams be taken in a proctor setting;
- Examining and modifying the university's systems for monitoring academic course work taken by student-athletes;
- Making (and continuing to make) personnel changes within the athletics department;
- Imposing grant cuts in 10 sports; and
- Reallocating funds from the athletics department to the AASS unit.
