Off the wire Florida A&M to be stripped of 11 titles for 196 violations July 9, 2004 The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference plans to strip Florida A&M of its 2000 and 2001 football titles and nine other championships for 196 NCAA rules violations, most dealing with academic eligibility. The proposed penalties were listed in a June 29 letter from MEAC commissioner Dennis Thomas to Joseph Ramsey II, FAMU's special assistant to the president for athletics. The letter said FAMU, an NCAA Division I-AA school, would have to forfeit the two regular-season titles in football, and championships in men's tennis in 2000; men's indoor track for 2002; women's indoor track for 1998-99 and 2000; women's outdoor track for 1998-99 and 2000; and volleyball for 1999.

pretty much the conference is taking away the titles and the money received from winning the MEAC all-sports awards during those years, loss of scholarships, conference title ineligibility, etc. Basically they are trying to punish FAMU before the NCAA does. Once the NCAA hands out their **** then FAMU will have a better position on where they stand
