Updated: NCAA's findings in FSU academic-misconduct case released (full document posted)

Florida State's athletic department has been told to vacate wins in multiple sports, including football, as part of the penalties handed down by the NCAA in its ruling on the university's academic-misconduct case.
Included in the penalties are instructions that the university vacate wins where ineligible student-athletes competed in football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's swimming, men's and women's track, baseball, softball and men's golf during 2006 and 2007.
That would include postseason competition, possibly including FSU's national championship in men's outdoor track and field, as well as the women's basketball team's appearance in the NCAA tournament.
FSU has 90 days to identify the ineligible student-athletes and what victories would have to be vacated.
FSU programs also face scholarship reductions in several sports, including football and men's and women's basketball, as part of the case that involved a total of 61 student-athletes and their roles in an online music course.

Why is this bullshit? Because FSU self-reported this relatively minor infraction, and offered to take some pretty harsh sanctions - two years probation, scholarship reductions, etc...
The NCAA said "fuck off" and imposed these ridiculous sanctions.
Meanwhile, Reggie Bush gets cars, houses, etc. and the NCAA doesn't even investigate.
Don't expect schools to self-report violations anymore, this is ridiculous.
