No one ever thought that Charleston Southern had more than a long shot of beating Florida State.
Well, that shot just got longer.
Charleston Southern admitted it has suspended several players for Saturday’s game. At one point, the estimate was 30-plus players, although now that figure is in the teens. The school says it has suspended 32, although 16 will sit out the FSU game.
Either way, the difference between most major schools and the powerhouses is depth. The question is whether Southern can stay close.
Southern’s players were suspended for using their book money to buy other items, such as pencils, say the players.
“We’ll go in there and play,” Southern coach Jamey Chadwell said. “I think we’ll be fine.”
Charleston Southern will receive $475,000 for the game.
