Brennan: Florida State gives way to 'Jameis State'

The embarrassment continues unabated at Florida State, a school that has put the need to win football games above all else, including an alleged rape, a Title IX violation and, pending an investigation, an NCAA rule that some schools still actually follow.

The amazingly still-eligible Jameis Winston is preparing for the big Notre Dame game Saturday as if all of that — as well as stealing crab legs from a Publix and soda from a Burger King, firing a BB gun at his apartment complex and making a spectacle of himself yelling a vulgar phrase while standing on a table in the student union — never happened.

This is how things are done now. The black kids have a different set of rules. The new rules in the schools makes it almost impossible to punish them for anything. Refuse to give a teacher your name, thats ok. Dont want to go to class, thats ok. Dont want to put your phone away or take your headphones off, thats also ok. Want to walk down the hallway and act like a bunch of animals screaming and yelling because you know nothing can or will happen to you, be my guest. I have seen many instances where our administrators have treated our minority students completely different than our non minority students. The only reason for these new rules is to reduce the suspension days for minorities. Great job libs, the students now know that they can get away with anything and now have no incentive to even try. There are very large number of minorities failing state tests and classes. It doesnt matter because they will get passed and graduate anyways to keep those numbers up to make it look like were doing something. Then they go to college and do things like this. Then to the NFL and NBA to do the same to become role models.

Florida State Criminoles

7:59 is spot on. The pressure from the state to alter the behavior stats by choosing to ignore unacceptable behavior that doesn't rise to a felony is criminal in its intent. All of the school boards and all of the administrators across the state have bowed down to this because the state BOE controls the cash.

Doesn't augur well for the future.
