Doesn't matter much now that he wasn't going to catch up to Paterno. I wish the NCAA would've really punished them by taking away scholarships.

I agree. FSU made their beds, and now they have to lay in them. It wouldn't have been right for them to go unpunished after the cheating scandal, regardless of whether or not Bowden stayed or retired. What's right is right, and there's no getting around the NCAA rulebook whether they like it or not. Still, they're on 4 years' probation, and any other serious rule infraction could mean the "death penalty".

Honestly I'm happy with the decision and he going to lose 14 wins. He's lucky NCAA didn't take away his title like they did with Florida in 1984 and 1985.

Based on what ESPN reported, scholarships will be lost across the board in all sports where students who were caught cheating were involved in, including football.

Bowden got away with way too much while he was still an active coach, and even though this ruling came "after the fact" it still leaves a tarnish on his legacy.

Does this mean they lose their 2 track championships?

That, I do not know.
