Underdogs are currently 11-6 against the favorites in bowl games this season. But sure, let's just assume some teams wouldn't have a chance at an upset and not let them try. 🤪

The CFP has hired security for committee members if needed since Dec. 3. They have made the FBI aware. “This one was absolutely over the top and inappropriate. In my 35 years I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Former FSU athletic director Stan Wilcox- who is universally hated in Tally and left the program an absolute mess heads up the NCAA Enforcement function. You can’t make this stuff up.

I understand taking the CTE risk for the potential of generational wealth, but doing it for a teacher’s salary seems foolish.
Tate is probably the most negatively impacted player by the Snub. Would have been blank canvas to write different script heading into 2024. Pull off an upset or two & he’s likely 2024 starter for Top 10 FSU.
Been waiting for this shoe to drop. Tough for Tate, hard for the whole

Hey Kirk- with how well Flacco is playing and Browns winning has this made you rethink your FSU snub? Pretty exciting when backups are given a chance to compete and win.

I spent my high school and college years caddying for Joe at Spring Lake GC in NJ. Height of Lethal Weapon fame & he hated what came with it. Seems like he found peace in semi retirement. Happy for him. Great guy.
@MMcCarthyREV
Every media guy knows what would happen except when they don’t. All FSU asked for was to be treated fairly and given a shot like every other undefeated P5 champion before them. Stop the gaslighting.
Great, great time. Second fastest of all LBs. Fiske was the fastest DT and Verse was the third-fastest DE. I’m starting to think the 2023 Florida State defense had some good players on it.

TERRIBLE and clueless take. Game was over and Kansas was doing the right thing and respecting its opponent by dribbling it out. Same as taking a knee in football. Ok to hit the QB because you “play til the clock hits zero”?
@RohanLawPC
I saw somebody reference it and 100% thought they were misrepresenting it. Crazy and huge stretch from the statute language. This confirms FSU to B1G in my mind.
Florida State making a different choice. That is pretty much the only reason why not. FSU has the option to go to the Big Ten. That isn't going to change from that side of things.
Academic snobbery is no longer an excuse since the Big Ten could have taken Stanford and Cal for

If you’re a value add agent this will be a long term win for you. Short term commission loss will be offset by reduced competition in the long term. And if you truly add value, the market will pay for it.
@KalenDeloach
It’s complicated Delo. The passion that drives fans to give million$$ out of their pocket to fund NIL and Boosters is the same passion that drives them to post stupid stuff to kids just trying to maximize their worth. Don’t take it personal. Hope you always think of FSU as home.
Hard to imagine that an entity would be allowed to “shield” documents from FL Sunshine Laws. You decide to do business in FL(having FSU and MIA as ACC members) then you agree to abide by the laws of the State.
This one is interesting. A while back, Florida State forced the NCAA to reveal investigative material using Florida’s open records laws.
Having dealt with those laws a lot, hard to imagine a Florida judge saying those deals shouldn’t be made available for public inspection.
Where you been bro? FSU backup was fully capable….only
@KirkHerbstreit
and ESecPN says different. Portal calendar shouldn’t be pinned on a program that got Snubbed.
Ohio State & Florida State’s QB situations are inexcusable. For a top program to not have a backup QB in the system that can simply run your offense & give an elite supporting cast a chance to score points is mind blowing to me.

@chipfsu301
Your loans yielded 3x+ annual income over a min living threshold (say $75k). That becomes discretionary spend which you rightfully used to accelerate payback. $75k loans that turn into $75k annual income have no ability to payback. Thats the normal use case and a huge problem.
In hindsight, declining invite > showing up with JV team. Brand value took a hit & fans/boosters spent $$$ on VERY subpar product. Not a good look heading into period of needed investment from the fanbase.
People mad at Dawk, but he’s not wrong. Multiple things can be true, and it was a perfect storm for this disaster, but it’s undeniably never going to be a good look to line up in a game and get beat like that. All reasons and context don’t erase the results, optics and fallout.
@jvelez622
FSU didn’t say no to JF....was a pissing match between him and Boosters head. Monk used to run interference on that relationship; when he passed it got toxic. Story as told to me by someone close to everything.
@PaulMSherman
Apples and oranges. 2,000 Blockbuster employees were not let go in a single town with high percentage of the population dependent on that work.
Never forget the ACC was better prepared to preemptively drop a lawsuit on Florida State than it was to coordinate bowl selections with its member institutions on Selection Sunday.

He was about a 15 handicap- high 80s low 90s. Good short game. Jeff Sluman gave him a set of Mizunos that he previously played so he probably gave up 3-4 shots a round playing blades that were configured for a PGA Tour pro.

College football is a multi billion dollar industry with significant interaction with public universities. It’s not just “fun and games”. Why would it be exempt from oversight?
@iam_jvxiiii
Yep. Goes back to the original Bannon lawsuit-video game companies should not be profiting off the NIL of college athletes without compensating them. So EA now creates a take it or leave it offer and drops the NIL of any athlete that declines.

Understand the point. But college football is big business and those entrusted with decisions that impact public (and private) universities and millions of dollars in interstate commerce have a duty to act within the law. Clearly there are questions on whether that happened.
