Florida A&M University football coach Willie Simmons has suspended "all football related activities" after an unauthorized music video was shot inside the locker room, he said Friday on Twitter.
Simmons said the video "contained graphic language that is not consistent with Florida A&M's core values, principles and beliefs." The video also involved the use of "licensed apparel" that might violate the Tallahassee university's branding and licensing agreements.
"It is a privilege to wear the Orange and Green and as a football program, our young men have failed to live up to the standards set before us," Simmons said. "They will all learn from this mishap and we will continue to work hard every day to become the best version of ourselves and continue to make Rattler Nation Proud."
Simmons suspended football activity "until further notice."
He didn't name the musician who appeared in the video.
