Florida Gulf Coast University (you may remember them from an NCAA Tournament run back in 2013) doesn’t have a football program.
It does have a club football team, though, and now the school is in hot water after more than 100 fake football scholarship offers were sent out.
Per a release from the school, the offers came from a volunteer with the football club, causing confusion for everyone who has received one of the fake offers:

It’s clear the volunteer was just trying to pump up the club football program, but offering fake scholarships is obviously not a great idea.
Now, FGCU has a headache on its hands as it tries to sort this bizarre situation out.
