Major Infractions Case

Florida A&M University

November 20, 2015

Florida A&M University failed to monitor its athletics programs when it did not appropriately notify student-athletes about scholarship reductions and properly administer eligibility requirements, according to a decision issued by a Division I Committee on Infractions panel. The violations impacted all of the university¿s athletics programs. The panel noted that some of the violations in this case were nearly identical to violations that occurred in the school¿s 2006 infractions case.

Penalties in the case include four years of probation, external compliance audits and a fine. The money will be retained by the university and used for compliance-related activities.
