"Florida State Football Program Faces Sanctions for NIL Violations"
Florida State football and assistant coach Alex Atkins have been hit with sanctions from the NCAA for a recruiting violation involving impermissible contact with an NIL-related booster during a Spring 2022 recruiting event. Atkins will be suspended for the first three games of the 2024 regular season and faces a two-year show-cause, while head coach Mike Norvell is expected to be charged under NCAA "strict liability" head coach responsibility rules. Other penalties include probation, scholarship reductions, and a financial penalty.
