During that time, Koetter worked with NFL players such as Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks while at USF. He also received $16,000 from the school during this time period. Under NCAA rules, he is not allowed to work within the industry for two years after leaving South Florida.
In 2016, former Miami quarterback Ryan Williams was arrested for armed robbery with a firearm after he pulled out a gun during a drug deal and demanded money from one of the sellers. During his arrest, police discovered that Williams was still listed on campus records as a student-athlete.
