Dr. Robinson said that the athletes will get four tickets now instead of two. That was a direct concern that the athletes brought up in the seven page letter. https://t.co/iSzR04nv8C

He said talking to the athletes directly, and he wanted to talk to everyone directly to address everything. That is why he held this meeting. https://t.co/3XTqz4Ck9d

He said he thinks there's a misconception that they don't care about athletics. He said that's very disturbing, and that's what bothers him the most. https://t.co/wmxUjvR4qA

He said it was a very understanding dialogue.

He said they have made a commitment to five additional people to help with complaince, and two additional academic advisors just for athletics. https://t.co/k75ACnpZPf
He wanted to look them in the eye and hear from them directly.

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

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
