Florida A&M University says it's disappointing not to get a football playoff bid despite finishing 9-2 and ending the regular season with nine straight wins, including a victory over Bethune Cookman this past weekend. The lack of an invite to the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs marked a stinging setback to a season that started in controversy and ended in triumph.

Florida A&M University is looking to host its first, football playoff game since 1998. The Rattlers, are 8-2 so far this season, and presently ranked 24th in the Football Championship Subdivision Coaches Poll. But before FAMU can find out if they can host the game—the Rattlers have to beat their nemesis, Bethune Cookman University.

Florida A&M University President Dr. Larry Robinson says the school will hire more compliance officers and academic advisors to work directly with the athletics department. The move comes after about 20 players were deemed ineligible to play at the school’s first game of the season last weekend. In response, football players issued an open letter to Robinson stating they will protest after games until problems around academic advisement and compliance are fixed.

Florida A&M University’s football season got underway in North Carolina this past weekend in a game that almost didn’t happen due to last-minute problems with eligibility that resulted in 20 players, some starters, having to sit out. Now, the team is promising to protest until changes are made in the athletics program, and the university's president is vowing to make that happen.
