    sorry jimbo.


    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State's sports teams will be on self-imposed probation for two years and some will lose scholarships because of an academic cheating scandal, the university said in a report released Thursday.

    About 60 student-athletes have lost or will suffer some loss of eligibility. Two staffers, a tutor and learning specialist, already had been fired. No additional dismissals were listed in the investigatory report.

    The report has been sent to the NCAA, which can still conduct its own investigation and impose additional penalties.

    Hopefully this helps LSU recruiting in Northern Florida.

    I wonder to what extent this "probation" was discussed during the recruiting weekends? I haven't seen any statement as to how severe the probation will be, could be just an attempt to influence the NCAA by saying the appropriate words.
