Florida State Appeal Denied

The NCAA turned down Florida State’s appeal of a one-year probation, ruling the university committed a major violation by failing to adequately monitor sports agents on its campus.

The designation of a major violation leaves Florida State vulnerable to the NCAA’s so-called death penalty if it has a repeat violation within a five-year window.

Florida State president Sandy D’Alemberte was not happy with the findings.

“I honestly don’t feel this was a just result,” he said Tuesday. “I think fundamentally the decision was flawed.”
