According to ESPN, Bobby Bowden is increasingly likely to lose at least 14 wins when the NCAA makes a final decision on Florida State’s alleged sport violations. A decision is due late this summer or at the start of the 2009 football season.
The NCAA’s Committee on Infractions defended its original penalty and wrote that the “vacation of records penalty should be upheld for Florida State university,” according to a letter that was finally made public on Thursday after several media outlets sued the school and the NCAA for a violation of Florida’s open records law.
It’s not a final verdict, but the committee’s stance threatens as many as 14 of coach Bobby Bowden’s wins and his chance at finishing his career as college football’s winningest coach in Division I-A.
If the penalty is upheld — and that’s a decision that won’t be made final until later this summer, or even possibly into the start of the 2009 season — then it would be nearly impossible for Bowden to compete with Penn State coach Joe Paterno in their race for most victories among major college coaches.
Paterno begins the 2009 season with 383, one more than Bowden has.
