Schools spend thousands to investigate improper contact of agents and players. They muddle through the dirty laundry it creates and the public relations nightmare that follows. All the while, they're petitioning the NCAA for immediate reinstatement of the poor, abused athlete, and blasting dirtbag agents for preying on helpless students. Meanwhile, the players who were part of the incident were suspended for two games. It's not just Florida State.
Athletes sneak away with the cookie, get a slap on the wrist and continue on their merry way.
Former Michigan safety Marcus Ray was suspended for six games in 1998 when the university learned of his dealings with an agent. Ray played the first two games of the season, sat out six, then came back and played again. Mo Collins was suspended for six games in 1996 after accepting money from an agent. All he did was come back in November and win a national championship ring. Athletes know what they're doing.
