The FSU president had returned to Tallahassee after interrupting a trip to Barbados, where he was traveling on school business and to pick up an honorary degree from the University of the West Indies. D'Alemberte said his get-together Thursday was the first time he had met Warrick. It cannot be expunged from Warrick's record. Meggs said he conferred with his staff and determined that the sentence was not out of line with what they have done for other defendants charged with similar offenses. He approved the deal.
Most people choose jail instead of work days.
Myrtil accepted the deal, which means her record can be expunged if she successfully completes probation. Kenny, after conferring with FSU athletic director Dave Hart, countered with an offer to let Warrick plead guilty to a misdemeanor and serve 30 days in jail after the season. Meggs accepted the deal, but Warrick backed away from it when he learned he could not play until the jail sentence was served. Confused as a result of mixed signals from FSU officials, Kenny met Thursday night with D'Alemberte to try to get Warrick back on the team. On Friday, he had a new offer for Meggs.
