TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Embattled Florida A&M University athletic director Kellen Winslow, a member of the NFL Hall of Fame, issued a public apology last week for the way he has behaved since being hired six months ago.

That apology didn't carry much weight with the FAMU Board of Trustees, who approved a vote of no confidence in Winslow on Monday night by a 6-3 margin.

The vote has no impact on Winslow's tenure at FAMU, but it sends a message to President Elmira Mangum that FAMU's governing body expects significant changes from the head of its athletic department., her first hire since becoming the university's 11th president April 1.

Mangum did not address board members during Monday's conference call.
