A – Clemson & SMU

B – Louisville, Miami & NC State

C – Pitt, Duke, Wake & FSU

D – UNC, GT, Syracuse & UVa

E – Cal, VT, BC & Stanford

The viewership tiers are also noticeable:

A – FSU, Clemson & Miami

B – GT, UNC & Louisville

Here is a detailed article from SB Nation that projects Florida State is doing fine so far in revenues with the new conference formula.

During a Board of Trustees meeting on Wednesday, Florida State athletic director Michael Alford shared projected revenue figures based on the ACC’s new revenue-sharing model, with the numbers showing that Florida State is anticipating bringing in the largest media distribution in the conference—approximately $11.8 million more annually than an equal-sharing model would provide.

FSU’s projected $44.9 million distribution, while the highest in the ACC, still trails the average payouts of both the SEC ($72.4 million per school in 2024-25) and the Big Ten (approximately $63.2 million per school in 2023-24).

FSU ranked second in the ACC in total 2025 football viewership with 29.7 million viewers, leading the conference in average audience at 4.0 million viewers per game. Alford said that a targeted marketing investment with outside consultants helped drive a 24% increase in viewers, which is projected to generate roughly $1.5 million in additional media distributions in FY26 and $4.6 million over five years.
....
Alford drew a distinction between the $20.5 million revenue share cap (which he says FSU is spending to the limit) and athlete endorsement deals, which he described as effectively uncapped provided they clear the NCAA’s NIL GO system and meet a valid business purpose and range-of-compensation standard.

FSU BOT Meeting-FSU trustees extend president's contract

 FSU trustees extend president's contract

Speaking highly of Florida State University President Richard McCullough, FSU trustees approved a contract extension to keep him in office for three more years. 

The three-year contract extension approval came following a unanimous vote during the FSU Board of Trustees’ Feb. 25 meeting at the Herbert Wertheim Center for Business on campus. 

During McCullough’s time as FSU president so far, achievements have included record retention and graduation rates, an FSU Health initiative launched in 2022 – which most recently includes plans for a $1.7 billion agreement with the city for FSU’s acquisition of Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare amid an ongoing deal – and the opening of the Herbert Wertheim Center for Business Excellence as the FSU College of Business’s new home.

Thankfully the rumor floated below was wrong.

Political whispers swirl as FSU faces leadership crossroads.

The smartest people around Ron DeSantis are doing math.

They’re calculating the odds of him ever becoming President of the United States. And they don’t love what they’re seeing.

So, they’re floating a different presidency: Florida State University.

It sounds far-fetched until you start talking to people who would know.

Multiple sources say senior advisers in DeSantis’ orbit have quietly gamed out the possibility of him landing at FSU as a high-profile power perch — instead of chasing a national comeback that looks, at least for now, like a steep climb.

Federal research funding has tightened nationally. Every university feels it. But schools with steady leadership and strong political footing tend to navigate federal turbulence better than institutions already fielding internal doubts.

FSU has said it lost more than $53 million in 54 federal grants that were canceled as of May 23, 2025. POLITICO reported potential exposure of up to $65 million.

That’s not catastrophic. But...

Calls for the building began back in 2002.

Senate and House lawmakers agreed last year to apportion $40 million for the design and construction of a 164,000-square-foot engineering building at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.

This year, they’re nearly twice that sum apart on how much more to provide to the project.

In its budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2026-27, released Thursday, the House is recommending $91.975 million more for the planned building, which would add engineering research labs and classroom space to support enrollment growth and reduce overcrowding at the joint campus.

That’s exactly the amount Tallahassee Republican Sen. Corey Simon and Merritt Island Republican Rep. Tyler Sirois sought in matching appropriation requests.

The Senate’s offer? A comparatively paltry $20 million.

That $72 million funding gap is among the largest, if not the largest, appropriation differences in line items that appear in both budgets. And it suggests that while the House is eager to fund most or all the project immediately, the Senate is keener on funding it in phases.

Calls for a new building at the Tallahassee campus, dubbed “Building C,” began in 2002, but declining enrollment and project costs at the time led to it gaining little traction.

In 2017, then-Dean J. Murray Gibson again pitched the project to the Board of Governors, citing the school’s 2,550 students and expectations of further growth in the coming years.

An education grant survey for the Board of Governors that year found that, based on the college’s enrollment then, its 117,089 usable square feet met just 53% of its current student body’s needs.

More than eight years later, the school still doesn’t have the building, and its population has grown to more than 3,700 students, following 48% and 22% increases in graduate and undergraduate enrollment, respectively, since 2021.

FSU's Board of Trustees has unanimously voted to extend Peter Collins' term as Chair for another two years. Bob Sasser also continues as Vice-Chair for the same term.

The Collins extension is significant for FSU Athletics. He has been a strong advocate for Norvell, Alford, etc.

Who are the best golfers in Florida State men's golf history?

 

Who are the best golfers in Florida State men's golf history?

Florida State has plenty of golf history, and its notable alums include one of the best golfers of the 21st century.

Charlie Woods announced Tuesday his commitment to Florida State, joining No. 1 recruit Miles Russell in the Seminoles' Class of 2027. The son of 15-time major champion Tiger Woods chose Florida State over numerous other offers and will remain in state, where he has been a part of two state championship teams at Benjamin School.

FSU coach Trey Jones is in his 23rd season as head coach and has guided the program to new heights. Under his guidance, many players have had tremendous success at the college level and gone on to win major championships and numerous PGA Tour titles, too.

But who are the best players in the history of Florida State men's golf?

John Pak

John Pak won the Haskins Award in 2021, given to the collegiate Player of the Year. He is Florida State's lone Haskins winner. He had eight victories for the Seminoles over his four-year career and holds the school record for lowest scoring average (69.87).

Luke Clanton

Clanton joined Pak with eight victories for the Seminoles and took home the 2025 Ben Hogan Award. Clanton earned his PGA Tour card thanks to how well he played as an amateur and as a member of the Seminoles, and he has the second-lowest scoring average in school history.

Brooks Koepka

Koepka is likely the most notable FSU alum, as the 35-year-old has won five major championships and recently made his return to the PGA Tour. During his FSU tenure, Koepka was a three-time All-American and won three tournaments.

Paul Azinger

The 12-time PGA Tour winner turned commentator started his college career at a community college but played a year for the Seminoles. He had two wins in garnet and gold and had plenty of success after turning professional.

Hubert Green

A throwback name, Green played for the Seminoles from 1966-1968 and had two wins in his 18 starts. He won two majors, the 1977 U.S. Open and the 1985 PGA Championship. Green still has the 16th-best scoring average in FSU history.

Vincent Norrman

Normann started his college career at Div. II Georgia Southwestern, where was the top-ranked golfer in the country. In his graduate season as a Seminole, Norrman had the fourth-best scoring average in school history and had one win in 10 starts in 2021. He also has one PGA Tour win.

Daniel Berger

In two seasons at FSU, Berger collected a pair of wins and has gone on to win four times on the PGA Tour, including earning the clinching point in the 2017 Presidents Cup.

Jeff Sluman

Sluman was fairly quiet during his college career, but as a pro he won six times, including the 1988 PGA Championship.
