This is a developing story. I will try and update as more facts come out. But it looks like between 15-30 plus players on Charleston Southern will be suspended for using book funds to buy other items at the book store. This is on top of the CSU head Coach being suspended for one game for a Level III violation.

Meanwhile, the NCAA keeps hoping nobody notices they don't in any significant way punish UNC, Miami, damn near the entire SEC...
Seriously, why do they even pretend anymore?
Damn! That's probably going to hurt their chances.
So FSU could top 100?
I'd guess anyone on the team will get some playing time.
So that's Carolinas fall guy
Reading through the article again, plus the linked article about the Citadel games...I really am having a hard time trying to get a handle on the situation. The column writer seems a bit biased (although I can't fully tell toward which side). He's also writing in a way that doesn't anticipate more than a local audience.
So I can't really tell if the coach is having an ego/attitude problem, or it's the NCAA compliance director that only sees black and white.
DAMN. I had money on Charleston Southern pulling the upset..This is all wrong.
Oh boy. If they only knew what FSU players did. Their entire football team would be suspended if held to the same standard.
They skrong tho
As stated in the first article, my first thought was that this has been going on a long time. Administrators obviously have better expense accounts. I feel for the players.
For those who don't want to click through the survey questions to get to this:
There are survey questions? When I click it it opens to the rambling article/editorial from Charleston.
I came here to post the tweet, but wanted to check the articles to see if they had used it to avoid posting something superfluous. The story on Tallahassee.com came up initially and I saw the tweet, but then the page was blocked by three survey questions. I thought it was absurd to obscure information that is freely available elsewhere, so I embedded it directly.
Thanks. It didn't pop up last night but I'm guessing with more people clicking it got the survey treatment.
Leg for the use of SUPERFLUOUS.
This could be the closest we'll come to breaking the Cumberland vs Georgia Tech scoring record for a while.
Didn't these guys learn anything from Jameis, you walk out the front door with the contraband you don't pay for it!
Gotta say, in their situation I would have had no idea something like that would be frowned upon. Really unfair to those kids.
Agreed. It's a lot like the female golfer that was penalized for washing her car on campus...seems completely against what you would think would be ok.

This is so ridiculous. I am having a difficult time processing that this actually happened and that we didn't make a much bigger deal over this.
it's the ncaa, i'm not sure "fair to the kids" has been their main concern any time recently
They might as well forfeit or something.
Now the nolies have a chance!
Now, if they had spent the money at Dillard's, they would have been fine...
Just trying to keep up with F$U. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Really?

If you're an Ohio State player, the NCAA looks the other way as you "buy" new sports cars. If you don't play for a blueblood, the NCAA suspends you for buying some candy bars and pencils with the excess book money. Justice.
shoot, even if it's a flippin ipad from the bookstore, who cares? Until they start selling ridiculous stuff at book stores, they might as well treat the book stipend like a gift card to the bookstore.
Just to clarify its not the NCAA suspending these players, the school, the school compliance officer are the ones issuing the suspension.
An important clarification. Seems ridiculous to me that kids would be punished by anyone for purchasing implements to facilitate their education.
That's important to know.
Still, that fact won't stop the outrage.
yes, but the purpose of the suspension is to hopefully avoid further punishment from the NCAA
That's admirable but can backfire. Just ask USC.
What a shame. CSU is a very good FCS team. They made it to FCS quarterfinals last season where they lost to Jacksonville State. They're the team to beat in the Big South since Coastal left and I'd imagine it will be between them and Liberty for that playoff spot. Hope they get this worked out before their real season begins.
I guess they are going to be playing IRON MAN football.
So after talking with Kyle Bailey who moved from covering the Hokies to Charleston where he covers several teams on the radio down here I've got some interesting insight. CSU suspended their coach for a game in Oct for a level 3 violation, in comparison Clemson wrote corrective actions for their coaches who did the same this summer, the AD is having CSU play several "home" games at the Citadel also. Kyle says there is major friction between the admin side and the coaching side at CSU.
Doesn't matter.
Florida State struggles handling the triple option.
Charleston Southern 22 Florida State 16 on a game-winning Kick Six.
Feel bad for the players. Hope they get back on the field.
