Florida State Football Assistant Coach Suspended by NCAA for NIL Violations

The NCAA announced on Thursday that an assistant football coach for Florida State received a two-year probation for violations related to recruiting as well as name, image and likeness rules.

The coach facilitated an impermissible recruiting contact between a transfer prospect and a booster. While the transfer prospect officially visited the campus, the coach transported the prospect and his mother to an off-campus meeting with a booster, who at the time was the chief executive officer of an NIL collective that also was a booster.

The coach's punishment also includes a three-year disassociation from the booster as well as a $5,000 fine, plus 1 percent of the football budget.
