Here's the cost of an out of state scholarship in the ACC:

1 Tie. 85K - Duke, BC, Miami, WF
5. 83K - Syracuse
6. 80K - ND
7. 75K - UVa
8. 58K - Clemson
9. 57K - VT
10. 56K - Pitt
11 55K - UNC
12. 49K Louisville
13 48K Tie. 48K NC State and GT
15 38K FSU

The top half of the ACC costs on average 80K per kid per year.
The bottom half averages about 53K

Knowing the size and relative gender of a university helps to understand it's place in its own metro market. Personally I think gender matters a great deal going forward as women seem not to contribute to booster clubs like men. The Wolfpack Club and Rams Club have noted this.

GT is the most "male" university in the ACC. UNC the most "female"

GT 67.9% Male (STEM on Steroids)
VT 56.7% Male (Former all Male Military)(Radford was the Girls School - Just Down The Road) (STEM)
ND 53.7% Male
NC State 50.8% Male (Three Girls Schools in Raleigh) (STEM)
Clemson 47,4% Male (Former all Male Military)
Duke 46.3 Male
Miami and BC 45.4 Male
UVa 45.2 Male
Louis 43.9 Male
WF 43.2 Male
Pitt 41.9 Male
FSU 41.5 Male
UNC 38.4 Male

Nursing, Public Health, Psychology, and Education now skew heavily female. Engineers of all stripes are difficult to prod into giving money to something that is unlikely to work. The essential character of the ACC is created by the character of the schools. These characteristics change very slowly over the years but do change - as did MD.

FSU in it's 31 years in the ACC (UPDATED)

Lately, I have read comments re: FSU that it wasn't consistent in the ACC and didn't win enough.  Interesting takes but thought I would add some information to provide context to those claims.






FSU has been in the ACC 31 years. In that time:

  • 3 National Titles
  • 3 Heisman Trophies
  • 6 National Title Game Appearances
  • 1 Playoff Appearance
  • 15 ACC Championships (48% of it's seasons finish as ACC Champ)
  • 28 Bowls with 18 and 10 Bowl Record (64% Bowl win %)
  • 4 Orange Bowl Victories
  • 3 Sugar Bowl Victories
  • 17 10 win plus seasons (54% of it's seasons are 10 win plus)
  • 11 AP Top 5 seasons (35% of it's seasons finish in AP Top 5)
  • 23 AP Top 25 Seasons (74% of it's seasons finish in AP Top 25)
  • Season Per Season Avg 9.26 Wins 3.42 Losses for 72.84% Winning Percentage
  • ACC Per Season Avg 5.90 Wins 2.10 Losses for 73.79% Winning Percentage


ACC schools should be grateful to Florida State, Clemson for carrying conference

Here are the rest of the week totals that ACC teams have been ranked in the Top 10 since 1992:

FSU 253.

Clemson 135.

Virginia Tech 31.

Miami 30.

North Carolina 26.

Georgia Tech 18.

Louisville 10.

Virginia 9.

Boston College 7.

North Carolina State 2.

Wake Forest 2.

Duke 0.

Pitt 0.

Syracuse 0.

Notre Dame doesn’t count.

TOTALS OF ALL NON FSU SCHOOL:  270

TOTALS OF ALL NON FSU/CLEMSON SCHOOLS:  135

So, look at those numbers again. Like really, really look at them. Florida State has now been ranked in the Top 10 for 253 weeks! The rest of the ACC combined, excluding Clemson, has been ranked a grand total of 135 times.

If you add Clemson to the mix, these two programs represent 74 percent of all Top 10 rankings the conference has had over the last 31 years.

Florida State has been ranked in the Top 5 176 times since 1992. Clemson has been ranked in the Top 5 107 times. The rest of the conference? 36. And 10 of those were Virginia Tech back in 2005.

So, let’s do that math real quick. Florida State and Clemson represent 88 percent of all Top 5 rankings in the conference since 1992. Florida State, by itself, is responsible for 55 percent of all Top 5 rankings in the ACC over the last three decades.

And, of course, Florida State has been ranked No. 1 57 times since 1992. That represents 71 percent of all No. 1 rankings in the ACC. And if you take away Clemson’s 23, it represents all of them!

Over the past three decades, no other program has been ranked No. 1 in this conference beside these two powers. And only four — North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Louisville and Miami — have been ranked in the Top 5 at all.

Doak Campbell Stadium Renovation



 https://share.earthcam.net/tJ90CoLmq7TzrY396Yd88FA2Ijmr6W5p2taoEn5c628!./doak_campbell_stadium/dashboard


How will FSU stadium experience change in 2024 amid renovations? Expect 24,000 fewer seats


Construction is well underway at the stadium. Renovations are set to continue leading into the 2024 season and should be completed before the start of the 2025 season ahead of the Seminoles' opener against Alabama.
Alford admitted the construction will have an impact on the 2024 season. Capacity is likely to be capped at around 55,000, down from the sell-out capacity of 79,560 in 2023.

In 2025, Alford said he anticipates the maximum capacity to be back in the upper-60,000s, lower-70,000s range. But the experience for the fans should be improved, even with a lower capacity.

While an exact capacity has not been established yet, Alford said in a Board of Trustees Meeting on Feb. 1 that he expected the capacity of the stadium to be in the upper 50,000 range.

That likely makes FSU football game tickets more premium than they have been in past seasons. There will also be constant construction going on around the stadium, meaning gameday traffic will also be different than in seasons past.

Alford said the premium club seats are almost 75% sold out already and they are starting to develop a waitlist for people.

While FSU will have a reduced capacity even when the construction and renovations are fully done in 2025, there is an upside to it: More room at your seat.

All of it leads to a better fan experience, according to FSU.

"Right now your tread depth is 27 inches, meaning your knees are in the back of the person in front of you," Zierden said. "Then when we go through and even the bleachers that we put back there will be brand new bleachers, not the same bleachers that are out there now, a 33-inch tread depth.

Tally Back Then: The very early days of Florida State University

 

Tally Back Then: The very early days of Florida State University

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - The history of the Capital City can’t be told without examining the role of higher learning in Tallahassee.

This week’s Tally Back Then travels back to the 1870s, where the first building of the West Florida Seminary is already a couple decades old.

Tallahassee Historical Society’s Doug Smith said this building, located not far from where the Wescott Building stands today, was key in getting higher education in Tallahassee.

“The State didn’t have the money to build it, so Leon County built the building,” he said. “And this building is what helped them establish the College here, because they had a building.”

According to FSU’s own telling of its founding, Congress granted two townships for the use of two seminaries after accepting Florida as a state in 1845. One would be east of the Suwannee River, the other to the west.

In 1856, Tallahassee Mayor (and grandson to Thomas Jefferson) Francis Eppes offered the state a location in the Capital City to build the West Seminary.

According to FSU, the legislature approved Tallahassee “because of its railway connections, its ‘salubrious climate’ and its ‘intelligent, refined, and moral community.’”

The West Florida Seminary would hold classes until 1863, before becoming the Florida Military and Collegiate Institute.
