One of Dabo's former recruits said this about us TODAY! He's now building a great post-career business with our help. These are the kind of conversations we want to have with our student athletes. Life beyond the game. Life beyond NIL. Heck, just LIFE!

My hand is raised 👋.
Let’s build something special in Tallahassee. Our fans deserve it. Our alumni deserve it. And I wouldn't stand for anything less than greatness.

An open letter to @Seminoles
I believe Florida State should be the premier athletic department in college sports.
Not just in football.
In EVERYTHING.
The standard should be championships. The expectation should be excellence.
[this is a thread]
Recruit relentlessly.
Fundraise aggressively.
Embrace innovation.
Build the best coaches and support staffs in America.
Create an NIL and business ecosystem athletes want to be part of.
But championships are only part of the mission. I want Florida State to become the best place in America to BE a college athlete. For ALL blooded Americans, thank you Bret Musburger. We'll be developing champions during competition and creating opportunities for them long after.
Football should compete for national championships.
So should baseball.
So should softball.
So should soccer, basketball, track, golf and every program wearing Garnet & Gold.
... and spent years developing relationships across sports and the business community.
That experience has shaped a simple belief:
Florida State has the brand, history, alumni, athletes and fan base to set the standard for what a modern athletic department can be.
My career has been spent at the intersection of sports, business, entrepreneurship and athlete development. I’ve worked with athletes as they navigate the transition from competition into business ownership, helped build brands and businesses...
Private capital. Brand partnerships. Athlete development. The next era of athletic leadership requires more than simply managing sports programs. It requires building an organization.
Every student-athlete who chooses Florida State should leave Tallahassee better prepared for whatever comes next. I did, and I'll make sure everyone under my tenure does as well
College athletics has changed. NIL. Revenue sharing. The transfer portal. Conference realignment.
@TheAlphaThought Yes, this is the way to start fresh. Now he can invest without compounding interest plaguing him. That is a hard cycle to break without better knowing his income structure.
The top is in for crypto.
Whose ready to off ramp and buy a franchise?
I'm talking multi-unit empire building. Generational wealth. Autonomy in leveraging a proven system and business.
Let's talk about it.
