How You Win National Championships: A Massive Coverup Now Alleged By The New York Times

Things are going from bad to worse for Florida State.

About the only thing which went right today, if you believe in Florida State football, is that Winston played and they creamed Syracuse.

But the New York Times may have different to say about it.

An article published yesterday seems to show that football is the only reason the school exists, as the campus police have routinely and repeatedly covered up for misconduct on the part of the football team.

This is no surprise, as one report stated that police told the raped party that Winston was protected because "Tallahassee is a football town."

Domestic violence against a 19 year-old and her child is alleged in at least one covered-up case.

Also:

"In a community whose self-image and economic well-being are so tightly bound to the fortunes of the nation’s top-ranked college football team, law enforcement officers are finely attuned to a suspect’s football connections. Those ties are cited repeatedly in police reports examined by The Times. What’s more, dozens of officers work second jobs directing traffic and providing security at home football games, and many express their devotion to the Seminoles on social media."

"When Jesus (Bobo) Wilson, an up-and-coming wide receiver, was stopped by the Tallahassee police in June while riding a stolen Bintelli Sprint motor scooter, his story was dubious: He claimed he had borrowed it from a student whose last name he did not know. But for Officer Michael Petroczky, it was convincing enough to forestall an arrest.

The officer, noting in his report that Mr. Wilson was a Florida State football player, wrote: “Wilson was not arrested today because he cooperated, showed no signs of guilt and provided a plausible story that needs to be investigated.”

Up to 13 football players have been under investigation for BB-gun shootouts on and near the campus.

This is fucking out of control.  Someone needs to forcibly shut down this program, and, if the school doesn't like it, it can go with it.

How bad is it?

One Sports Illustrated columnist says that the only way Jameis Winston might see the NFL, and his best move therein (even with the costs involved) is to drop out of Florida State University.
