Report says McPherson may have bet on games

The Florida State football program is facing new allegations of impropriety following the recent release of a law enforcement report, which suggests that athletic department officials failed to take disciplinary action after being informed of a player's gambling habits. The investigation, which focused on events surrounding former Seminole quarterback Adrian McPherson, was conducted cooperatively by the Florida State police, Tallahassee police and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The 500-plus page report, obtained by The Cavalier Daily, was entitled "Operation Coin Toss," and contains information suggesting that prominent FSU athletic administrators, includingBob Minnix, associate athletic director for compliance, andAndy Urbanic, athletic director for football operations, had information last spring that former Seminole quarterback McPherson might have bet on college sports and possibly even his own Florida State football team. McPherson was arrested on November 27, 2002, and charged with felony countsof grand theft and forgery.
