@JwQueck @Genetics56 That would be so niche that the sport would flame out into irrelevance.

@JWMediaDC @bigten @OhioStateFB @BadgerFootball @Huskers @BoilerFootball @IndianaFootball @GopherFootball @psufootball It will be interesting to see how States address the disparity. If I’m the governor and legislature in FL, this is a scorching hot issue. States like MS, AL, TN, IN have 2 P2 schools and benefit from FL talent and venues. FL has 1 P2.

TAX the hell out of P2 entities.

@Meagainsthwrld2 @jayypatriot I agree with this. If he serves the full 35 or close. At 17, he certainly didn’t have the impulse control of someone 25+. But when you take a life, the penalty should be very considerable. He made one bad choice after another that day and had time to consider each step.

@MatthewHartsook @amandaafootball @SonnyBishop3366 From which budget or booster? The STATE of FL isn’t going to fund it. FSU Health and FSU sports are not the same…

[Ralph @B1GFSU]

@KurtBauerle @ramblinroundup @DidTheACCDie @DavidSmoak @JWMediaDC @theACC @SEC @bigten @Big12Conference @mark_hokie @ByDavidTeel That didn’t age well either!

@jwwalter1 @JWMediaDC @DanielCane1970 Ratings were relatively poor prior to last season. And last season’s regular season ratings were in the same ballpark as FSU’s (during worst stretch in half a century). Granted, if the performance trend continues for a long time…

[Ralph @B1GFSU]

@SonnyBishop3366 @MatthewHartsook @amandaafootball And the “$1.7M” is FSU’s commitment (by way of the state) to invest in the health campus also over the next 30 years.

What next…compare Norvell’s buyout to the US military budget and say “WE’ve got the money!”

[Ralph @B1GFSU]

@SonnyBishop3366 @MatthewHartsook @amandaafootball Beat me to it. Not remotely tied to each other. The purchase of the City of Tallahassee-owned hospital and land does not come from the athletic department budget or boosters. It’s a FL BOG approved transfer for $110M to be paid over 30 years!

@KurtBauerle @ramblinroundup @DidTheACCDie @DavidSmoak @JWMediaDC @theACC @SEC @bigten @Big12Conference @mark_hokie @ByDavidTeel “Never”?

[Ralph @B1GFSU]

@jwwalter1 @JWMediaDC @DanielCane1970 Miami is picking a good time to get good again after a quarter century drought…but the Canes are definitely not first pick. Smallish private in post-cable market world without their own stadium and a long stretch of not being very good over the past 30 years.

@LucasSWGirl They just need to build yet another Death Star! 4th time’s the charm!

[Ralph @B1GFSU]

@WyEastman @TheBrianShapiro @rittenhouse2a The juice is loose!

[Ralph @B1GFSU]

@IraSchoffel Without a substantial improvement in the revenue stream or big bucks donors, there’s no fixing it Ira.

@TimFinigan57734 @Genetics56 Eyeballs. Even at a low point.

[Ralph @B1GFSU]

@AllKindsWeather You’re wasting your life if you’re more than remotely invested in “college” sports at this point.

[Ralph @B1GFSU]

@JWMediaDC Being a smallish private (and smaller brand) is an advantage??

[Ralph @B1GFSU]

@TJ_Pittinger Get used to it. Do you think FSU has especially deep pockets or P2 revenue?

[Ralph @B1GFSU]

@NHseminole @markalsip57 @ImmaculateView @JWMediaDC FSU Health is a very new initiative so likewise this research collaboration with Mayo Clinic is in its infancy. But it’s a very good sign. Mayo doesn’t sign noteworthy agreements like this with just any university.

FSU will be AAU within 3 years, almost unquestionably.
