The Associated Press and other Florida news organizations are suing the NCAA and Florida State University, saying they violated open government laws by not making public correspondence about an academic cheating scandal at the school.

The 21-page lawsuit was filed Monday in Leon County circuit court.

The dispute is over a response the NCAA gave Florida State on its appeal of sanctions resulting from an academic cheating scandal. The school would be stripped of wins in 10 sports, including football. That would seriously hurt Bobby Bowden's bid to become college football's all-time winningest coach.

It will be interesting if this correspondence ever sees the light of day. xeyebrowx

Maybe Notre Dame will finally be rightfilly crowned '93 champs. FSU has been a joke of a program the last 20 years. How they've escaped major penalties up until now is beyond me. They've had tons of infractions.

What would be cool is if Florida State's 18-16 1994 Orange Bowl victory over Nebraska got vacated. The game was won by Florida State on the bad call by the officials to begin with. If that's a win for Nebraska that means Nebraska went 37-0 over three consecutive seasons.

Yeah, like Lou Holtz was as pure as the driven snow.

I'd like to know why the NCAA has been so hush hush about this in the first place? They seem to have any problem publisizing anything with any other school especially smaller named schools.

They also didn't put up much of a fight about the Seminole Mascot as they did with every other school on the same issue.. I know as do many that the main seminole tribe supported FSU's usage of the nickname, but still that was the case elsewhere and still the NCAA kept fighting it.
