AP source: Florida State loses NCAA appeal

NCAA Football Betting Lines

01/05/2010 -

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -A person familiar with the decision says the NCAA has rejected Florida State's appeal to overturn a penalty taking wins away from its athletic teams because of an academic cheating scandal.

The ruling could cost former football coach Bobby Bowden 14 of his 389 career victories.

A university official said the school was notified Tuesday its appeal of the sanctions won't be allowed. The official requested anonymity since the school had not formally released its response.

Florida State still must certify which games ineligible players competed to determine the number of wins and individual records that will be nullified.

Bowden retired after Florida State's Gator Bowl victory on New Year's Day.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
