Im not really suprised per se but come the fuk on man seriously its not that hard...

Brenda Monk, a learning specialist hired to work with athletes who had learning and physical disabilities, was accused of improperly helping students type, edit and write their papers. Monk, who testified that some of those athletes had a second-grade reading level, was accused of committing academic fraud. In one case, she was said to have let students use a study guide that had answers to exam questions for an online music course.

Probably the nail in the coffin for Bowden at FSU.

Must have been in the Honors program.

Of course, this may spell the end for Coach Bowden (dadGUMMMIT) since the SemenHoles are 2-4...if they were still playing at their late 80's-early 00's level this would have never gotten out.
