FSU lowest paid AD in P5?
Interesting information.
Good news is, FSU shouldn't be paying market value for a hire with 0 experience (he was the presidents college buddy). He does an ok job, but like most FSU athletic leadership.....FSU lacks experience and professionalism and is getting lapped by peers.

FSU, ACC & Big 10 Endowment data
Interesting review of endowments by HokieMark at https://accfootballrx.blogspot.com/. Some factoids of note:
*In 2001 FSU had the #121 ranked endowment. It is now ranked #158. FSU has fallen greatly in recent years.
https://www.nacubo.org/Research/2020/Public-NTSE-Tables
*In 2011, here was the ACC PER STUDENT endowment (approx):
Two things can be true at the same time. FSU has major disadvantages in the endowment game. At the same point, it has done a poor job of growing it's endowment looking at the data.
https://accfootballrx.blogspot.com/2020/05/on-2nd-thought-why-maryland-left.html
One of the ways to detect administrative mismanagement at a major university is to look at it’s overall endowment. MD has been so mismanaged over the decades that it has only a tiny endowment, the smallest of the B1G and ACC. Here's the 2018 value of all Big Ten and ACC endowments [ACC schools in bold]:
From Indiana to Virginia Tech you have a variety of mostly a state land grant colleges, which have smallish endowments. Miami is small and private. Clemson was an all-male military school until the early 1960’s and remains small compared to other land grants. Louisville was a city college until the 1970’s and Florida State was a girls school until the 1950’s. None of those is expected to have huge endowments at this point.
Then there is Maryland - a large state flagship university - with the smallest endowment by far.
I'm told that there's very little cooperation between the academic and athletic fund-raising groups at Maryland, too. So in a nutshell: (a) small endowment, (b) insufficient revenue for athletics, and (c) academics and athletics that don't work well together.

Here is a photo of an undetermined Georgia Tech home game during the 1918 college football season. That's when the sport was hit by the Spanish flu and the end of World War I.
