Bobby Bowden, the Seminoles’ coach, has tried to put all this embarrassment on the back burner for the time being. “But with each passing day it’s getting harder for Bowden and other Seminole officials to distance themselves from a mess that has reached staggering proportions” (34). The Florida State scandal most talked about because it involves an exceptional football program that ... in which they were written checks by Rick Blankenship, a Seminole Booster.

- 25958: The Trip to Halawa Valley
- ... that decision. With all the characters, except for the briefly mentioned newlyweds, Schwartz shows how decisions made by a person or a couple are hard to turn back on.
