Texas A&M and head coach Jimbo Fisher have been hit with NCAA violations, including one involving recruiting.
The NCAA announced Thursday that the Aggies program, including Fisher, violated rules between January 2018 and February 2019. Via the NCAA’s “negotiated resolution process,” the NCAA, Texas A&M and Fisher agreed that Fisher and an assistant coach “had impermissible recruiting contact with a prospect at his high school.”
“The conversation was impermissible because it occurred before the completion of the prospect’s junior year in high school,” the NCAA said.
The program also violated countable athletic-related activity rules by “unintentionally” causing football players to “exceed activity time limits by approximately seven hours” during spring and summer activities.
