FSU Football Reports Six Secondary Violations

PrintAccording to TD's Corey Clark, FSU Football has reported six secondary violations to the NCAA for the past football season. These are very small violations and none will adversely affect the program. Secondary violations are of a silly nature and pretty much serve to highlight the ridiculousness that is the NCAA.
Corey Clark (via Twitter, @Corey_Clark): One was for a walk-on eating a meal at training table. Another was for a player's photo appearing in a Publix advertisement on the video board during a game. Oh and I caused a secondary violation, too. Apologies, folks. I asked Greg Reid about LaMarcus Joyner and quoted him in a notebook. I didn't know current players weren't allowed to talk about high school prospects - even committed ones. Reid had hung out with Joyner during his visit - and both are big-play corners - so it was a natural to ask about him.
The NCAA really doesn't care at all about these. Some programs report upwards of 100 secondary violations per season and nothing ever happens.

".....eating a meal at the training table..."
Did the local health inspector pop us?
And who wants to rip into some nachos while Spurlock’s getting his ankle wrapped 3 feet from your face? Find a classier place to grab lunch, IMO.

Sounds like a punishment handled down by the Unity Council

Not sure if sarcastic...
but the ‘training table’ is the dining hall in the athletic center. It’s open to the public for lunch, even takes the student meal plan, and gets pretty crowded. You should try it, it’s normally really good.
I guess I was being sarcastic.
I haven’t eaten there in 10 years, but it was good like you say.
I’m worried about reaching Fan Boy status if I eat there at my “advanced age” now.
Better we report it than some UF fan file a FOI and make a big deal of it
This team will improve in '10... on its 16-16 conference record over the last 4 years.... after losing 20 games in the last 4 years... after having the 7th worst major-conference defense... after not even winning its own division in the ACC in the last 4.

NCAA doesn't care about them as long as you report them...
Kind of like a company inspection in the army. You always make sure you leave one barrel smudged and one boot unpolished….If the inspector doesn’t find SOMETHING, he’ll just keep digging until he does.

This is exactly it...
The NCAA rulebook is ridiculously dense, and the number of people who can possibly cause a violation is so large and turning over so frequently, it makes it impossible to have them all know exactly what they can and cannot do.
As long as the school is showing that they’re taking proactive measures, working on staying compliant, and all that happens are small misunderstandings, the NCAA will say “good job looking out, don’t let it become a habit, stay vigilant, no penalties”.
"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
Meh
We were all created to be Seminoles. This is why we bleed garnet and piss gold.

I said this on the Fanshot.
The NCAA doesn’t give a damn about these minor violations.
It IS best to self report these. And it seems pretty apparent it might be best to self report EVERYTHING for the time being, considering what they just did to USC and the rampage the NCAA is on.
MiNDSET? SWAG-ER-ISM!!!

We self-reported the cheating scandal.
Didn’t seem to lessen the blow one bit.
Could've been a lot worse
Really wasn’t that bad at all. Scholly reductions didn’t hurt us, no post-season ramifications, etc.

I guess I should take back that platinum 5* chain I gave Joyner.

Would probation have an affect?
Secondary violations are obviously a joke, but what about when you are on probation?
Here are the 6 minor violations.
A player’s image used in an ad for Publix on the Doak Campbell Stadium video board during a game. The student-athlete was unaware of the usage of his picture.
The team wore padded girdles “prior to the appropriate acclimatization period.”
A blog on Seminoles.com – FSU’s athletics Web site – contained information about a verbal commitment by an athletics department staff member.
Two student-athletes were interviewed by a newspaper about a potential recruit as a teammate. They responded and commented about the possibility.
A walk-on was directed by an assistant coach to eat lunch at the training table before leaving for the airport, but the assistant coach was not aware that walk-ons were not approved to eat based upon departure time.
An assistant coach scheduled a time to have contact with a recruit during the contact period. In previous contacts they talked on non-basketball game days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday). This day the conversation occurred with the recruit on a Thursday.
>-----:----:------>Spearing 'em and Scalping 'em like it's 1999
I'm not so sure this Jimbo fella is the right man for the job.
I can't believe the prior regime was so stupid as to allow the players to wear padded girdles before they were fully acclimated.

No single program has 100 secondary violations
A lot for entire major athletic departments with the biggest compliance offices is 50-60. 4-10 is what you would expect from football or basketball.
But perception plays a big role. FSU quietly has six violations = no big deal. Lane Kiffin’s program has six violations very publicly = significant problem.

well
I think it was the nature of the violations…calling out other coaches and what not causes a bit more scrutiny.
Not an alcoholic, just an FSU grad.
