One hundred-and-one members of Florida A&M's Marching 100 during the fall 2011 semester were not enrolled in FAMU's band course in violation of university rules.
A letter send by FAMU President James H. Ammons to Board of Trustees members Tuesday detailed the enrollment status of the band when drum major Robert Champion was beaten to death Nov. 19 in a hazing ritual on a band bus following the Florida Classic football game in Orlando.
The 457 people on the band travel roster for the fall semester included 331 current FAMU students and 25 employees, as well as 52 previous FAMU students not enrolled at the time and 49 Tallahassee Community College or Florida State students not enrolled in the band class. The letter noted it was unclear if the TCC and FSU students were enrolled at their home institutions. The numbers show about a quarter of the Marching 100 were not FAMU students.

Every press relase FAMU releases are things people already know. Just a bunch of smoke and mirrors from the administration so they can protect their jobs.
"Let's drop a press release every month about things we KNEW were going on"
Ammons and the board needs to get a life. I knew about the hazing at FAMU in middle school. Everyone knew they marched old heads, supposedly in grad school.
yeah basically chris.i knew since 04 that non students marched ..
Just imagine if schools in the SWAC did that..SU, GSU would be HUGE
Book said: txsu would be su be a good 400 lol and idk bout gsu cuz the kids would have to drive a good 30 mins
FAMU has a policy where the FSU and TCC students are allowed to be in the band. It's the the 50 or so alumni members that were in violation of the schools policy.
they bout to tag on some more years on tht suspension
yea tryna get the band reinstated at this point in time is almost impossible cause every bit of evidence says you are guilty and this just poured more fuel on the fire, as far as the program coming back
