TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The NCAA has upheld its decision to take wins away in as many as 10 Florida State athletic programs, including up to 14 from former football coach Bobby Bowden.
Bowden retired with 389 wins after Florida State's Gator Bowl victory over West Virginia, Jan. 1.
The Infractions Appeals Committee said Tuesday the cooperative efforts of the university in the academic cheating scandal involving 61 Florida State athletes failed to outweigh the aggravating factors in the case.
The ruling could also include one of three straight NCAA track championships won by the Seminoles.
Florida State still must certify which games ineligible players competed to determine the number of wins and individual records that will be nullified.
