FAMU Self-Imposes Penalties: Florida A&M officials have announced that they will impose a one-year postseason ban on its men’s basketball team, and elimination of one assistant coach as part of the widespread NCAA violations uncovered in an internal investigation completed in June. The upshot: Over 200 violations in 12 varsity sports over a seven-year period have been discovered, including allowing over 100 ineligible student-athletes to compete. The school has stripped itself of 28 football scholarships and 10 other scholarships, and has forfeited 11 MEAC Conference titles. The NCAA will complete its investigation this fall, but when the term “lack of institutional control” is used, it’s never a good thing. [8/1/05]

"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
