They shouldn’t have thrown such a hissy fit…

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.
As part of the penalties, Atkins will be suspended the first three games of the 2024 regular season and is given a two-year show-cause. A show-cause requires schools who hire Atkins to explain the decision to NCAA officials. Atkins is expected to remain on FSU’s staff in his current role.
In a first of its kind in the NIL era, the school must disassociate with the NIL collective representative for a term of three years. The school also must disassociate from the NIL collective for a term of three years as well. As part of the dissociation, FSU cannot accept assistance from the collective and the collective cannot contribute to the athletic program in any way. However, the collective is free to continue working with FSU athletes on NIL endeavors.
Other penalties include:
- two years of probation.
- scholarship reductions of five over the next two academic years.
- a reduction by seven in official visits for 2023-24.
- a prohibition on recruiting communication for six weeks over the next two academic years, including this next week (Jan. 12-18).
- a prohibition on communication with athletes in the transfer portal from April 15-21.
- a reduction by 18 evaluation days this spring.
- a financial penalty of 1% of the athletic department’s budget.

Congratulations, Cedric Golden! You just took over the top spot for this gem:
“Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers should return for this third season because there’s much potential for growth. Still, there are no guarantees he'd win the starting job as the Longhorns make their way to the SEC.”

If Quinn Ewers does come back to Texas, he should be ready for Arch Manning | Golden
Quinn Ewers won't be guaranteed a starting job if he returns to Texas in 2024 with Arch Manning waiting in the wings.
