Florida State University is the one academic institution in the U.S. where it is possible to get college credit for being a clown. Along with history and economics, F.S.U. gives a course in circus performing. The idea goes back to 1947 when, to speed transition of the university from a women�s into a co-ed school, the administrators began searching for an activity in which both men and women could participate. The unusual, star-spangled circus course was the answer. Students train right on the campus to be tightrope walkers, trapeze artists, clowns an acrobats. To pay for the rigging they put on performances in nearby towns and a big show each spring in the university stadium. The course has served the cause of integration almost too well�there have been numerous marriages among the performers. These have cost Coach Jack Haskin some of his best aerialists, who left college after marrying. So far, however, none of the students have quit to join Ringling Brothers. They apparently view the flying trapeze as just a part of a normal liberal education.

The statement notes that ESPN asked for reports with the names of 360 Florida State athletes, and the department handed over 300 police reports where those athletes were "mentioned as a witness, victim, suspect, reporting party, etc."

That's a hell of a lot of incidents for a small amount of people, most of whom spend only a few years there.
Thankfully Jimbo runs a tight ship. Nothing to see here.

Let's not go overboard there... Per NFBuck he runs a pretty tight ship.

Pretty
from English Grammar Today

We can use pretty as an adverb, before an adjective or another adverb, meaning ‘quite, but not extremely’. It is informal...

Well if he loves his teammates then he's A-Okay by me. :sarcastic:


Jameis Winston: 'I'm a good guy'


..."People always can bring up old things but now I'm doing what I do," Winston said. "I'm a loving person -- I'm loving my teammates. I'm dependable. I'm accountable. I can't show out to the world that I'm that guy because you're not in the locker room and a lot of people don't know me for who I am...
