Thirty months into the era of name, image and likeness, the NCAA is finally dropping the hammer.
The association is expected to levy significant penalties on Florida State, its NIL collective and a booster, as well as an assistant coach, for NIL-related recruiting violations in the most serious and unprecedented sanctions handed down in the first two-and-a-half years of NIL. Multiple sources with knowledge of the decision and penalties spoke to Yahoo Sports under condition of anonymity.
The sanctions, wide-ranging and broad, are tied to a Spring 2022 recruiting event and are part of a resolution negotiated between the school and the NCAA.
