Florida State University's football program is facing NCAA sanctions for Level II violations related to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) infractions. The NCAA is expected to impose unprecedented penalties, including a three-game suspension for Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line coach Alex Atkins, disassociation from both its booster collective and a booster involved in the infractions, fines, and limitations on transfer communication. The penalties are a response to a recruiting violation that occurred during the recruitment of Amarius Mims while he was briefly in the portal in 2022. A player considering transferring was offered $15,000 per month from a collective/booster in a meeting facilitated by coach Atkins. Additionally, FSU received two years of probation. The official announcement from the NCAA is anticipated to be released soon, detailing the negotiated resolution.

This punishment for Florida State is garbage. NCAA didn’t punish anybody for sham classes and not educating players. But when it comes to kids getting money they have earned through hard work, they want to drop the hammer. 🙄🙄🙄 https://t.co/uPdt5zbt8g
