Florida State has asked the NCAA to reduce and rescind penalties imposed on its football program for NIL-related recruiting violations after the sanctioning body halted investigations into booster-backed collectives. FSU's legal counsel sent a three-page letter to the chairperson of the Division I Committee on Infractions and requested the committee amend its decision. The letter was dated April 24. It referred to NIL-related cases involving Tennessee and Florida. The penalties are the result of a rule-breaking incident that happened in April 2022. An assistant coach drove a prospective student-athlete to a meeting with a booster, which is considered impermissible contact.
