I honestly didn't think this could happen - the NIL stuff is like the wild west. But, here we are.
A Florida State assistant coach, offensive coordinator Alex Atkins, is found to have committed two Level II violations, which include impermissible recruiting activity and facilitating impermissible contact with an NIL-related booster. Atkins is alleged to have driven a prospect and his parents to a meeting with a leading member of the school’s NIL collective, Rising Spear.
IMO, this is like the NCAA fining and suspending a coach for buying a recruit a meal. Ridiculous.
Sources: NCAA levies significant penalties on Florida State for NIL recruiting violations
The NCAA is expected to levy significant penalties on FSU in the most serious and unprecedented sanctions handed down in the first 2 1/2 years of NIL.
