TALLAHASSEE, FLA. ? A football squad with a history of off-field problems will join other Florida State sports teams on self-imposed probation for two years, and some teams will lose scholarships due to an academic cheating scandal.
The university said in a report Thursday that about 60 student-athletes also have or will lose some eligibility. Two staff members, a tutor and learning specialist, have been fired. No additional dismissals were listed in an investigatory report. The cheating occurred mainly through online testing for a single music history course in the fall of 2006 and the spring and summer semesters last year.
