TALLAHASSEE - Florida State president T.K. Wetherell said he had planned to overhaul the athletic department months before learning of an academic misconduct scandal involving 23 student-athletes and two university employees.
"We started that back in January," he said.
Two senior administrators - Charlie Carr and Pam Overton - resigned effective Monday, and Wetherell said there are no plans to replace them. He sent a letter dated June 1 to athletic director Dave Hart informing him that his contract, which expires in January 2009, will not be renewed.
"We've set up a committee on campus, but with our open records, we'll have to go through a (private search) firm to talk to people," he said of finding an athletic director.
As for the academic scandal, Wetherell reiterated that the school is finalizing its internal investigative report that it will send to the NCAA, which will use that report as the starting point for its investigation.
