   More bad news for FSU - first, left out    
   12 Jan 24 06:00:28   
   
   From: don.p.del.grande@gmail.com   
      
   It turns out that a Florida State assistant coach (reportedly, its OC)   
   arranged a meeting between a potential transfer (reportedly Georgia's Amarius   
   Mims), his parents, and a booster who was a member of FSU's main NIL   
   collective, who offered an NIL deal    
   of $15,000/month for "at least one year," and drove them to the meeting (but   
   did not attend himself). The player (who decided not to transfer anywhere) and   
   both parents informed the NCAA of the meeting.   
      
   One small problem - using NIL as an incentive to enroll/transfer is an NCAA   
   violation.   
   Second small problem - the coach lied to the NCAA by claiming that he didn't   
   arrange the meeting.   
      
   Result:    
   fine of 1% of the FSU football budget;    
   two-year show cause for the coach, including a three-game suspension;   
   loss of 5 scholarships in each of the next two years;   
   also, FSU's NIL collective may not donate any money to the school, and the   
   school may not provide any benefits to the collective that are not otherwise   
   available to the general public, for a one-year period that ends pretty much   
   right after the next CFP    
   championship game. Note that the collective CAN continue to provide NIL deals.
