Florida football coach Dan Mullen has received a one-year show cause from the NCAA after it was found his Gators football program violated recruiting contact rules on two occasions, and that Mullen "did not promote an atmosphere of compliance," the Division I Committee on infractions announced Tuesday.
The infractions were processed by the negotiated resolution process.
According to the NCAA's release, the university, Mullen, an assistant coach and NCAA enforcement staff agreed that the assistant coach and head coach had impermissible in-person contact with a prospect when they met with a prospect’s high school coach while the prospect was in the room.
