Florida A&M football has been through a rough weekend. Coach Willie Simmons' squad has been under investigation after their facilities were used for Real Boston Richey's music video. The rapper placed the team in a lot of peril.

Willie Simmons and the Florida A&M football administration have decided to stop team activities for a while. The team is currently undergoing thorough processes such that the matter is taken care of. Although, a lot of it is turning for the worst as Simmons outlined, via Jim Henry of The Tallahassee Democrat.

“We are trying to talk to the right people to do everything not only to cover ourselves but the young man in the video. There are some legal issues (with the release of the video),” he said.

He also outlined how this impacted his leadership with the youngsters.

“As a leader of young men, I am charged to put them (players) in the best positions to be successful and discipline them when needed. I am disappointed anytime something puts a negative light on a great institution and our football team,” he said.

Even their school president, Larry Robinson, disclosed how this was not at all in line with any of their core principles.
