The Nease High football program was placed on restrictive probation today for six years, and the school endured the largest fine ever levied by the Florida High School Athletic Association for major violations of the association’s recruiting policy.

Investigation findings were that a student-athlete was recruited with favors including residence, employment for a parent, and rides to and from school.

Nease was fined $20,000, and for six years will be prohibited from television appearances, fall and spring jamborees, out-of-state opponents, exhibition games and traveling outside the state.

The Panthers, who enter the playoffs Friday against Belleview with a 10-0 record, remain playoff eligible.
