bowden and fsu are victims of a few things:
#1 the urban meyer effect. fla has gotten All/most of the #1 or #2 talent in fla. add in schools outside fla raiding the state.
another big consideration, the state of fla has four new D1 programs. usf, ucf, fiu and fau. second and third level talent can go to these programs and play right away. some borderline players just need a chance. also academic standards are not as tough and easier to get kids in school.
