You Go, Bobby!!!
I'm talking about Bobby Bowden, coach of the FSU Seminoles, whose team will be missing 36 players when they meet the Kentucky Wildcats in the Gaylord Music City Bowl later today. A sizable chunk of these missing players is due to suspension by Coach Bowden because they cheated on (are you ready for this) an open book online MUSIC exam.
For those of you nonfootball fans, to be missing 36 players from one football team is a MASSIVE, crippling, debilitating blow. And yet, Coach Bowden has suspended his cheaters from their biggest game of the college football season.
I say, YOU GO, BOBBY!!! Way to emphasize that HONESTY means something.
Later addendum: FSU lost, but only by a TD, 35 - 28. It was a nail biter right down to the final second.

I second that. Bobby is one of the most honest and upstanding coaches out there-always has been. I wish more coaches/owners/managers were like him!
I always LOVE watching the "Bowden Bowl" each fall. Hubby took some classes at Clemson, so we do pull for Clemson in that one.
WOW!!!! I am beyond impressed, especially since it's a music exam.
Deven - - - - it was totally ridiculous, not only was it ONLINE, it was OPEN BOOK!!!! Bobby said, "Who can't pass an open book exam?"
BUT - - - the players who cheated got direct answers from people who had previously taken the exam. I guess they didn't even want to take the time to LOOK for answers.
