FSU Is A Clown College Now And Forever

In this story, one of the comments I made was that by FSU fans being pleased with the punishment from their academic scandal, FSU fans had admitted they were nothing more than a minor league sports franchise.

That said, if you are an FSU fan and you are happy with the relative lack of punishment, you are messed up. You have admitted your university is nothing but a minor league franchise. 61 kids went to FSU to play sports and get an education. Not only have some of them lost an National Championship, the ultimate for any college athlete, but they have lost their chance at a legitimate education. Instead of taking away scholarships from kids who look to that as their only route to an education, heads should roll at FSU. When an administration takes advantage of students, they have no business in education. And remember FSU fans, you are a place of (relatively) higher learning. Not just a football school.

Let me just say now that I am sorry. I totally forgot that FSU is also a Clown College. For proof, go to the Florida Board of Governors website. (HT: J-Fenn) At the top of the page, images of each Florida public college roll. What is the image FSU chose? A dude juggling flaming sticks at the FSU Circus. Well played, FSU. Some days, it is just too easy making fun of the School Out West.

This is too much

Introductory Circus Class
PEM 1952

PEM1952 is our Introductory Circus Class offered through the school of Sports Management, Physical Education, and Recreation. It is a one (1) hour credit class offered in the fall semester. For the fall 2008 semester, the class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:30am and 2:00pm.
The Introductory Circus Class is an overview of all of the different parts of the FSU circus from flying trapeze to rigging. The circus class is a fun way to learn about a very unique program on the Florida State University campus.

The above is from the website….I think they need to update it though, the Fall 2009 class will meet Saturdays at 1:00 at Joak Campbell Stadium at Ron Zook Field.

I especially like the part that talks about the “rigging” part of the FSU circus. That is exactly what brought about the sanctions, no?!
