See the link below. From the article:

”The NCAA on Thursday announced significant penalties for the Florida State football team -- including two years' probation and disassociating with its NIL collective for one season -- for violating rules on using name, image and likeness offers as a recruiting inducement.

The NCAA says a Florida State coach drove a prospect to a meeting with the head of the program's most prominent NIL collective during the prospect's official visit to campus. At the meeting, the booster offered the prospect $15,000 per month and encouraged him to play for the Seminoles.

The prospect, who was not named by the NCAA, removed his name from the transfer portal shortly after the meeting and remained at his previous school.

The coach in question was Florida State offensive coordinator Alex Atkins and the booster involved was one of the leaders of Florida State's Rising Spear collective, according to a Yahoo Sports report.

In a resolution negotiated with the university, the NCAA suspended Atkins for three games. The school must also disassociate with their collective for a year and from the specific booster for three years.”



Please take this opportunity to remember that Penn State has a culture problem.

Many schools use NIL as a recruiting inducement, probably almost all of the big programs. Interesting move, wonder how they got caught because the NCAA sure isn't going to punish the entire top 25.

Probably got ratted out by the athlete and/or his coach. That's the risk of attempting something like this and not closing.

Selectively enforceable rules and FSU did not toe the party line after not being picked for the CFP, so they will pay.
I laughed because I’m definitely not a conspiracy theorist but this makes too much sense.
