The Florida State Seminoles and the NCAA reached a negotiated resolution of an infractions case expected to include sanctions against the school, an assistant football coach and a booster, sources told Sports Illustrated. The NCAA announced the penalties later Thursday.
The case centers on violations related to name, image and likeness rules, sources said. The Florida State assistant coach and a booster were attempting to secure the transfer of a player from Georgia, according to sources, and the player chose not to attend FSU.
There was enough agreement on the facts of the case that it was concluded via negotiated resolution between the school and NCAA enforcement instead of a contested hearing, which would have drawn out the case for several more months.
