The NCAA doesn't know what to do as they've never had a case like it. Florida A&M anounces they'll be playing as a Div1a team from now on, signs contracts to play games vs 1a teams, signs players who think they're in Div1a & playing vs 1a teams, then says 'well, no, we don't want to play in Div1a right now & want to go back to Div1aa MEAC conference'. It's kinda screwed some players & some 1a teams thinking they had an easily winnable 1a game.
FAMU's recruits were pretty much the bottom of the barrel as far as 1a recruits go, but they should be allowed to go to other schools, 1a or 1aa, if they want to. Heck, a few might get a real chance @ 1a w/Troy St, La-La, CenFla or soon to be 1a Fla Atlantic.
It just ain't right, what Fla A&M did:
FAMU dilemma concerns others
Here's some more of the dilemma with signed contracts to play other schools & TV contracts:
FAMU may not get the TV deal now
And, finally, can the players get out of the FAMU Letter of Intent?
Appeals process?
