FAMU Update: While not the complete set of documents I was expecting, at 5:14 and 5:26 pm ET today, FAMU emailed me most of the records I requested yesterday to help with an appeal to the NCAA of the suspensions of Isaiah Land and Cameron Covin - assuming FAMU will let me help. https://t.co/n6BLz89aiU

After declining Isaiah Land’s and Cameron Covin’s requests yesterday for copies of the records about the waiver submissions FAMU made on their behalf, and requiring them to first sign FERPA releases, which they promptly did, FAMU has still not given them (or me) those documents. https://t.co/o9x7KllF9Z pic.twitter.com/2M8FZkkYgJ

ICYMI: Breakdown of FAMU’s unprecedented blunders regarding its football team and its President’s failure to accept responsibility:

“Terrible, egregious, unbelievable.”

“Destroying their future. Disgraceful.” @rolandsmartin https://t.co/uoe4yo5yq9

FAMU also needs to upgrade its PR Department.

When you make a serious mistake that affects others, own it, apologize, and fix it. Instead of offering a litany of excuses, that’s what this statement should have said. https://t.co/Goy7DfSjmk
