Jimbo Fisher Receives Six-Month Show-Cause Order for Texas A&M Recruiting Violations

The NCAA announced Thursday that Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher received a six-month show-case order after he and an assistant coach had impermissible contact with a high school recruit.

The violations outlined by the NCAA occurred between January 2018 and February 2019. The impermissible conversation occurred before the prospect completed his junior year of high school.

According to the NCAA, Fisher "failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance because of his personal involvement in the recruiting violation."

The investigation also revealed that the program unintentionally caused players to exceed the allowable number of countable athletically related activity hours by seven.
