Ex-Florida State QB Charged With Gambling
March 4, 2003 04:17 PM EST
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Former Florida State quarterback Adrian McPherson was charged with one misdemeanor count of gambling, including on games in which he played.
McPherson, who started four games for Florida State last season, placed bets over the Internet on college and pro games during the 2002 football season, the school said Tuesday.
He bet on every Seminoles' game last season, always wagering that they would win, according to the school. Sources told investigators McPherson bet large amounts and owed a Tallahassee man thousands of dollars, the school said.
That man and Florida State football team equipment manager Jeffrey Inderhees were charged with one felony count of bookmaking.
McPherson was kicked off Florida State's team in November, after police said he was connected to the theft of a blank check later cashed for $3,500.
Florida State Police Chief Carey Drayton said no other charges are expected. The charges result from a three-month investigation by the university, Tallahassee police and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
McPherson's lawyer, Grady Irvin Jr., said he would issue a statement later Tuesday.

How does that not get the FSU in trouble with the NCAA? You've got a player gambling on his own team...seems like that would result in some kind of violation.

I have never enjoyed watching teams get in trouble for violating NCAA rules. Just like I said to the UGA fans, I hope you guys get this worked out.
