Wow, what a phenomenal journey so far! Today marks my 50th birthday and I invite all to join me in celebrating this milestone by making a donation to the Dr. Melvin C. Terrell Educational Foundation, which I serve as a board member. Cheers!

[FSU President Richard McCullough @PresMcCullough]

Dear FSU community,

Today, we experienced a tragic and senseless act of violence at the heart of our campus.

At lunchtime, an active shooter opened fire at the Student Union. Two were killed. Six others were injured.

We are heartbroken. We are grieving with the families, friends, and loved ones of those who were lost. We are holding close those who are injured, and we are standing by everyone who is hurting.

I’ve been in constant contact with our law enforcement and emergency teams since the incident began. The FSU Police Department, along with the Tallahassee Police Department, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the Florida Highway Patrol, responded immediately and decisively. FSU Police contained the threat and prevented even greater tragedy. I am grateful for their courage and professionalism.

Right now, our focus is on taking care of people. That means the victims and their families. It means students, faculty, and staff who were nearby and are now trying to make sense of what they experienced. And it means every person in our campus community who is feeling shaken or overwhelmed.

We are working closely with our leadership, law enforcement, and mental health professionals to ensure that everyone has the support they need. If you’re struggling, please reach out to our Counseling & Psychological Services team at (850) 644-TALK (8255). You are not alone.

There will be more updates in the days ahead, and more time to reflect and heal. But now, we mourn together. We lean on one another. And we remember who we are.

We are Florida State. We are family. And we stand together.

Sincerely,

Richard McCullough
President

🇵🇷 Eyes on Puerto Rico:

Tonight Puerto Ricans amassed the second largest political rally this ENTIRE cycle - behind only Harris’ 75k-person Ellipse speech.

Over 50,000 Boricuas rallying for the anti-Trump, anti-corruption Alianza movement & @juandalmauPR.

Political earthquake.

[Marc Anthony @MarcAnthony]

I’m here to tell you that even though some have forgotten … I remember.

I remember what it was like when Trump was president.

I remember what he did and said, about Puerto Rico…
About our people ...

I remember after Hurricane Maria devastated our island…
Trump blocked billions in relief … while thousands died.

I remember that when our families lacked clean water and electricity,
Trump threw paper towels and called Puerto Rico “dirty” and “poor.”

But I was not surprised..

Because I ALSO remember… he launched his campaign by calling Latinos criminals and rapists.

He’s told us what he’ll do.

He'll separate children from their families and threatened to use the ARMY to do it

This election goes way beyond political parties.

Now let’s remember what the United States represents and stands for. It’s our name - United.

Regardless of where we’re from.
I’m Marc Anthony…

I remember…

And that’s why I support Kamala Harris for President

🚨 | BREAKING: The ACC has officially announced that FSU is allowed to buy back their TV rights & exit the conference...

A new lawsuit filed Friday has revealed that the ACC is seeking to negotiate with the Noles. Previously, the topic of leaving the ACC was set to hit court, where the stakes would be HUMONGOUS 👀

If a judge decided that the ACC Grant of Rights were valid, the cost for an FSU exit would be up to $430M. However, if the GOR was invalid, FSU would have been allowed to exit for free...

This is the first time in the ACC-FSU dispute that the ACC has agreed to NEGOTIATE with the Noles, marking a big step forward for Florida State 💪

So how much would FSU have to pay in a settlement? Many experts in the realignment field believe that it could cost the Noles UNDER $100M...

This means FSU will be able to leave the ACC while saving a LOT of money in the process. And once the Noles are in the Big Ten or SEC, this buyout figure will feel like NOTHING 💸

The annual TV rights revenue figure in the SEC/B1G is $60M-70M annually, which DWARFS the ACC's $30M payout. Thus, FSU will be able to avoid significant financial hardship...

FSU's conference move is currently expected to occur before the 2026 season 🏈
