Jimbo Fisher Gets 6-Month Show-Cause Order for Texas A&M Recruiting Violations

Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher received a six-month show-cause order from the NCAA after he and former Aggies assistant coach Jay Graham had impermissible contact with a high school recruit.

"According to the agreement, the head coach failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance because of his personal involvement in the recruiting violation," the NCAA said on Thursday. "The agreement also said the head coach failed to monitor his staff when he did not ensure the program was staying within the allowable number of countable athletically related activity hours."

As part of his show-cause order, Fisher is banned from all off-campus recruiting in the upcoming fall period.
