This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...
In my role as co founder and managing partner of Draftline I speak with NIL and rev-share decision makers and NFL agents every day. I love this program, so here's a direct message to FSU leadership, boosters and fans.
Bobby Bowden built a standard at Florida State: 14 straight top-five finishes, two national titles, and a program recruits grew up dreaming about. Every decision made in Tallahassee should protect that standard.
Right now, leadership is lowering it. 10–21 since the 2023 ACC title. 14 straight losses away from Doak. And the reason we keep hearing for accepting it is the buyout.
The actual numbers say we can't afford to keep
Here's what the cost of losing:
• ~$15M a year in added roster (suck tax) and staff spend (no one wants to coach with a dead man walking)
• $7–8M a year in ticket revenue a winning season or new coach excitement brings back
• Season tickets down 18% since 2023
• Booster donor base down 17%
• 2027 recruiting class 43rd nationally, with zero offensive linemen
• No permanent AD since September, and our CFO/Rev Share whiz kid just left for Iowa State
That's $22M+ a year spent to not fire Norvell.
And the upside is real. The ACC lets schools keep 100% of their playoff money. A deep CFP run plus a full Doak is worth $20–28M in a single season.
The buyout is a one-time cost. Drift compounds: in recruiting, in the portal, in donor checks that don't renew.
To leadership: make the decision now. Waiting costs more than it saves.
To Stephen Ponder and @SeminoleBooster: Instead of worrying about what people are posting about you it’s time to line up the commitments now, so the buyout doesn't come out of the operating budget that funds our other 20 sports.
To fans: renew, show up and stay loud. The next coach is selling this program to recruits the day he's hired.
We've been here before, and Florida State always comes back. But it takes a decision not hiding. #Noles

@isaiahrmartin If Trump runs in 2028 somehow, Obama needs to step up one last time and run. Unfuck what he can re: Trump policies and funds distributions, and hand it off to AOC or Mamdani or someone motivated to change for the good.
Allow me to put the vile Vivek Ramaswamy ad into perspective.
This is Mike Caruso, GOP politician in Florida. He was arrested for molesting his grandson. He stuck his penis in his 3 year old grandson’s mouth and urinated.
Vivek and JD Vance support Mike Caruso.
Couple of things that upset me about this
A) it’s not holding. He chops his arm down and he lost his balance
B) this is very important. Holding is only supposed to be called if it could effect the play. The DE is double teamed and the ball is gone at the time of the “holding”. He’s nowhere near the QB.
Just an all time bad call. It’s an official looking to be part of the game.
When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centers, and when our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations.
Because there were fewer bots. And it’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from – if they disappeared when Yandex went offline. This proves, again and again, that Europe is not the source of the problems. Europe is not the one making everything more difficult.
Most importantly, we need people in America, every morning, when the day in Europe is already moving toward evening, to really see what is happening. To see the truth.
