Hart Finally Speaks Out

In what could be termed as too little too late, Florida State athletic director Dave Hart said today that the FSU coaches' recruitment of Spartanburg (S.C.) Broome wide receiver Markish Jones did not violate NCAA or ACC rules.

Responding to comments made by Clemson's Tommy Bowden, Hart said, “There has absolutely been no rules broken.” It was disappointing there was an inference otherwise.”

Contrary to earlier reports, FSU apparently does have the right to appeal. FSU's interpretation is that the letter is not binding until it is received along with grant-in-aid information from the school, and all documents are properly signed
