Florida State vacates wins
NCAA Football Betting Lines
02/07/2010 - Tallahassee, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Florida State's athletic department officially announced the vacating of wins relating to last year's academic fraud violations, including 12 for football under former head coach Bobby Bowden's watch.
The NCAA had denied an appeal by Florida State last month to overturn the vacation-of-records penalty. All that was left was Sunday's determination of which contests the ineligible student-athletes participated.
The NCAA's Division I Committee on Infractions originally levied the records penalty, along with a four-year period of probation and reduced scholarships, in March of 2009 for major violations across 10 sports involving 61 student- athletes during 2006 and 2007.
The 12 football wins include the Seminoles' Emerald Bowl victory following the 2006-07 season as well as four regular-season wins from that year and seven the following season -- ultimately trimming Bowden's career win total to 377.
Bowden stepped down as FSU's head coach after the Seminoles beat West Virginia in the Gator Bowl this past year. His original total of 389 wins was still second-most in major college football behind Penn State's Joe Paterno.
In addition to the football program, the university loses a men's track and field championship in 2006 and postseason wins for both the baseball team and women's basketball.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
