Corruption on the Field

The NCAA’s stern hand descends,
Florida State bears the weight,
Penalties imposed, reputation bends,
An echo of a once mighty state.

Forbidden fruit, temptation’s call,
NIL-related rules now defied,
Passion to win, where ethics fall,
Dark clouds loom, innocence denied.

Recruiting trails now paved in gray,
Violations etched upon their name,
The price of ambition they must pay,
Tarnished legacy, stained with shame.

From blue skies to stormy nights,
The winds of change relentlessly blow,
Florida State’s once untarnished lights,
Now dimmed, fading with a fatal blow.

But within the storm, a lesson learned,
A call for fairness rings loud and clear,
Let athletes’ worth be truly earned,
And let the light of justice appear.

From this dark tale, let us take heed,
To rectify the system’s plight,
Where rules are bent, no longer freed,
A new era dawns, renewing the fight.
