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.

SINCE I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT SPORTS, EXACTLY WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR FAMU'S ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT?
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
