Fla. appeal court again rules against NCAA
Lawyer Blogs
A Florida appellate court again has rebuffed the NCAA's effort to prevent public release of documents on academic cheating at Florida State.
The 1st District Court of Appeal late Monday denied the college athletics organization's motions for a rehearing or certification of the case to the Florida Supreme Court.
The documents being sought by The Associated Press and other news media concern a proposal to take wins away from coaches and athletes.
That includes football coach Bobby Bowden who could lose 14 victories — diminishing his already dwindling chances of overtaking Penn State's Joe Paterno as major college football's winningest coach.
