An official announcement is expected later Tuesday. Thomas’ representative was in South Florida to finalize the deal, the source said.

A source said Thomas was intrigued by FIU’s location in South Florida, its growing football program and the size of its student body (more than 30,000). The source said Thomas was looking for a fresh place to start and that, despite other previous NBA and college opportunities, this is the one that finally piqued Thomas’ interest.
