BREAKING: I have received confirmation from Florida A&M that linebacker Isaiah Land is one of the 20 ineligible players. I’ve been told FAMU is working to get Land eligible for next week.

Alison Posey | 20 FAMU Football players are ineligible, be it to academics or transfer eligibility
There are a lot of rumors going on right now about the @FAMU_FB team & whether or not they will travel to North Carolina to face the Tar Heels as scheduled tomorrow.
— Alison Posey (@AlisonPosey14) August 26, 2022
As of now, the team still has a chartered flight scheduled for this afternoon. I'll keep you updated.
Just spoke with Florida A&M head football coach Willie Simmons. There are twenty players that are ineligible, be it to academics or transfer eligibility.
— Alison Posey (@AlisonPosey14) August 26, 2022
He said only seven offensive lineman that can travel - that’s not enough to safely play a football game. https://t.co/ix3AnfgvLH
Coach said they have pleased with the NCAA to appeal their circumstance. They don’t want to see a game not played, hopefully they’ll extend some grace and mercy. https://t.co/TrQ0Qq0hQ6

“Certification is certification. Right now, some guys are lost for the season. Ruling on others is four games.” https://t.co/Wj9fumLT5y
— Alison Posey (@AlisonPosey14) August 26, 2022
Coach did say he is leaving the decision to play up to the players. He and the coaching staff have talked to them about playing and not playing - it will ultimately be their decision. https://t.co/BjWwWiFWKR
— Alison Posey (@AlisonPosey14) August 26, 2022
Want to clarify the academic issues: coach said it’s a myriad of issues. Progress towards a degree (student athlete related), advisement issues as well that are University related - what classes athletes are placed in. https://t.co/ipBHg4Er5w

BREAKING: From Florida A&M, it is official, this team IS traveling to North Carolina and will play tomorrow. @abc27
— Alison Posey (@AlisonPosey14) August 26, 2022
Best bite to sum up today from HC Willie Simmons: "The responsibility ultimately falls on the student athlete, but without support, it is really, really hard to juggle all they have to juggle and still maintain satisfactory academic progress & still compete at the highest level."
— Alison Posey (@AlisonPosey14) August 26, 2022
Florida A&M has one compliance officer for all of athletics. They also have one academic advisor for all of athletics. https://t.co/AnFVomXn4k

I want to expand on this:
— Alison Posey (@AlisonPosey14) August 26, 2022
Just looking at Florida State’s website: there are five people to handle compliance, and in student athlete academic services, it looks like 12 staff members, and seven interns. https://t.co/qkQub40V4x
At Florida, it looks like six people in compliance, plus one intern.
— Alison Posey (@AlisonPosey14) August 26, 2022
For academic services, they call it the Hawkins Center. It’s academic services, but some staff have different titles. 25 staff members, plus one intern. https://t.co/YMIsfeJw79
