Florida A&M University suspended all football-related activities after a rap music video featuring some of the team's players was recorded without permission in a football locker room.
Head football coach Willie R. Simmons said in a statement Friday night: “The video contained graphic language that is not consistent with Florida A&M’s core values, principles, and beliefs.
“Although I am a proud proponent of free speech and support all forms of musical expressions, this football team (as ambassadors of Florida A&M University) has a responsibility to protect the University's image,” he said.
An internal investigation is being conducted to determine who allowed the use of the athletic facility.
Simmons told The Associated Press that he would meet with the players visible in the video over the weekend and that a team meeting was scheduled for Monday.
