Top 25 college programs ranked by active NFL earnings
https://247sports.com/college/florida-state/LongFormArticle/Top-25-college-football-programs-ranked-active-NFL-earnings-Georgia-California-Alabama-LSU-Miami-Oklahoma-Ohio-State-Florida-Michigan-Florida-State-148171308/#148171308_1
While it’s been a rough past three seasons for the Seminoles football program, the lag in success has yet to catch up to Florida State alums in the NFL. Quarterback Jameis Winston, the former No. 1 overall pick, takes up a significant chunk of FSU’s active earnings, but he is not the richest among former ‘Noles greats. That distinction belongs to cornerback Xavier Rhodes, who will have earned a shade under $50 million in his first eight seasons in the league. Rhodes signed a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts this offseason worth just $3 million, but the majority of the corner’s earning came as a member of his previous team, the Minnesota Vikings. Rhodes has made three Pro Bowls and been named a first-team, All-Pro once in his career up to this point. Also ranked higher than Winston is Las Vegas Raiders center Rodney Hudson, who will earn $48.4 million through the 2020 season. Winston, who inked a one-year, $1.1 million dollar contract with the New Orleans Saints this spring, is scheduled to earn $46.1 million through this season.

Nole, Daniel Berger wins at Charles Schwab
https://www.pgatour.com/news/2020/06/14/different-victory-just-as-sweet-for-daniel-berger-charles-schwab-challenge.html
In this most unusual of weeks for the PGA TOUR and its return to golf, Colonial found a winner who somehow managed to stay hot during the three-month long suspension of this season. Berger’s last three starts before the conoravirus pandemic changed everything? A T-9 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, a T-5 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and a T-4 at The Honda Classic. Scoring-wise, he rolled into Cowtown with 24 consecutive rounds under par.
In retrospect, we should’ve seen this coming, but given a field with so many big names, including the world’s top-five ranked players, it might’ve been easy to overlook a guy who ranked 107th in the world and 45th in the FedExCup, and whose last TOUR win came three years ago – prior to a wrist injury that developed in 2018 and eventually put him on a Major Medical Extension entering this season.
Berger had just gone to 15 under with a final-round 66 and was now the man to beat with six players still on the course. You could’ve heard a pin drop. But then, Berger isn’t one likely to hear his name chanted anyway, even though it should be, considering he’s a two-time TOUR winner and played on the U.S. Team that steamrolled the International Team in the 2017 Presidents Cup at Liberty National.
Sunday’s win comes against the deepest field in tournament history – and it sends a message that Berger is healthy now and ready to get reclaim some of the territory he had carved out on golf’s landscape before his wrist problems.
“There was so many times today where I could have given it up or let the pressure get to me,” Berger said, “but I hung in there and I played practically some of the best golf I've played the last six years the last five holes today.”
He still had to win a playoff, though, after Morikawa failed to convert a 6-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole that could’ve won the tournament. Berger had lost each of his first two playoffs, including the 2017 Travelers Championship when Jordan Spieth holed a shot from the bunker.
It’s the kind of scar tissue that can pay dividends in these situations, especially against a youngster such as Morikawa, making just his 21st TOUR start since turning pro.

Florida State University is ranked among the top 50 universities worldwide for producing patented technologies, according to a new report from the National Academy of Inventors and the Intellectual Property Owners Association.
Florida State is ranked No. 43 for producing patents in 2019, a jump of 26 places from its No. 69 ranking for its 2018 patent production. The university produced 60 patents in 2019.
“We are pleased to see the hard work of our inventors reflected in this annual report,” said Vice President for Research Gary K.
