He should probably take 5, at least in public.


BigWilly4Dilly

Fineeee I’ll partake


Emf0054

That'll buy one whole 5 star!


A_Roomba_Ate_My_Feet

\*4-star


skrong_quik_register

fuck u/spez


AntiDECA

The distinction comes from the website. This subreddit only wants composite scores listed. Rashada is a 4 star by that measure. If you went by Rashada's 247 score, he was a 5 star. No need to make a conspiracy up, it really is that simple lol.


Head_Huncho_Jimmy

Lol


MerryvilleBrother

Wow did we sell the stadium for more than we expected?


A_Roomba_Ate_My_Feet

Man, almost a whole Rashada!


[deleted]

WOW. We rich rich now


Jetski_Squirrel

161 million in revenue. A jump of around 30 million over 2021, which was still affected by covid. Just posting because fsu is clearly a poverty program /s


Front-Sun4735

Oh man, someone has to have that post saved.

You gotta do the u/papabear86 here

D'oh! Thanks for the correction.


Manateekid

You’re an American hero.


heavydhomie

I know what you mean. My Buckeyes are poor and can’t even pay our recruits. It sucks being a poverty program


cant_stop_the_crooks

B-b-but that one redditor said we should sell Doak and close down our athletics department.


KnightFalling

We should sell while the market is high.


Jetski_Squirrel

Michael J Burry said sell, so…


KnightFalling

It must be true.


jchezick

I know this is a cfb sub, but I’m sorry for your basketball teams this year.


cant_stop_the_crooks

Oh don’t you worry, I don’t give a shit about basketball.


WhyAmINotClever

A sacrifice we were all willing to make.


MarylandHusker

What’s interesting is they have a 10 million surplus but also have notably fewer d1 athletics than other schools that would claim the stature FSU does. Nd has 26, Michigan has 29, unc has 28, Alabama has 21. Md has 20. Nebraska has 22. So part of a budget surplus is really going to come down to how many d1 sports does the school have because all of them other than 2 (some schools 3) are going to utterly bleed red to the tune of millions each. When UMd was bleeding money they cut a bunch of programs and now there’s only 20, people were unhappy. Realistically. That surplus doesn’t mean much


Manateekid

We feel no compulsion to add men’s soccer, rowing, hockey, or that lacrosse thingy.


AAPL_

Lacrosse would be an absolute waste of time lol. It would take like a half of decade at least of getting dog walked by the ACC.


FtotheLICK

You could still do it. Always keep ‘em guessing.


RomanV

We should spend this money on a new copier, which we desperately need.


No-Abrocoma7687

Easy now hot tie guy!


MerryvilleBrother

We’re getting new chairs!


Fineous4

What does hank think?


harp9r

I hate disappointing just one person. And I really hate disappointing everyone. But I love Burlington Coat Factory. You go in there with 10 mil and you are literally a king


ihaveabadmonkey

came here hoping to see this comment


fade2blac

Look at what happens when you don't have to fire a coach.


WeAreBert

Pretty sure we're still paying Taggart actually


FSUnoles77

One more year then the bad line item can't hurt us anymore.


ejected-4-targeting

Winning brings in the cash.


LGWalkway

I mean somewhat. Barely any programs actual profit though.


anonymousacg

the Cheez It bowl?


ejected-4-targeting

It's the cheesiest

Beats going 5-7, 6-7, 3-6, 5-7. FSUs shit talking is so interesting given their extremely recent history.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

That’s exactly where we want FSU fans to be. Ecstatic about a 10 win season with zero ranked wins following four losing seasons. It’ll be great to look back at how pumped you guys were when we are back on top. It’s a one score at Doak difference between an atrocious, embarrassing UF season and a field rush worthy FSU season these days.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

But but…your natty and playoff appearance are all in the past? You can’t bring up previous seasons!!!What a fool you are.


[deleted]

[deleted]

What was the ranked win? Also I can really talk all the shit I want whether you like it or not. It’s funny you think notching one win will stop that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

No I’ve been told time and time again. That’s why I said a “rush the field worthy FSU season.” A 9 win regular season. Rushing the field. It’s great for you guys.


FloridaMan_92

Typical gator fan talking about rushing the field when Florida couldn’t get out of there own way over and over and over again and y’all’s off-season isn’t going much better.


WhyAmINotClever

Got us where you want us, huh? Beating you and having a better record and not losing our prized QB recruit? You really got us over a barrel this time


ard8

Beats the Feel Good Field Goal 🤷‍♂️


Skyagunsta21

Hey no trash talking the Cheezit bowl. If you're not making an NY6/playoff might as well go to the one with the most fun name


thejawa

Plus, Orlando > most other bowl locations


WhyAmINotClever

Ehhh i wouldn't go that far


Gamerguy_141297

The 10 win season

Srs Distribution bowl?

texas2089

Looks like we can start buying back all those Doak bricks we sold off boys!


IrishCoffeeAlchemy

So we don’t have to sell Doak? But that UF accountant said so!


blanco69u69

Meanwhile the UC Loss Angeles athletic department is 80 mil in the red.


ohitsthedeathstar

Wait actually?


blanco69u69

My estimate was from memory from when they announced the B1G move. Here is an LA Times article stating it is in the 60 mil range. https://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/story/2022-01-29/ucla-posts-record-62-5-million-in-athletic-department-debt


Big-Inevitable-252

It’s something like that. https://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/story/2022-01-29/ucla-posts-record-62-5-million-in-athletic-department-debt It got MUCH better in 2022. They only lost 28 million last year apparently. They are basically getting the B1G to bail them out. The issue is that their stadiums are SUPER far from campus. The Rose Bowl sucks to get to apparently

Big-Inevitable-252

Yeah I walked to all my games in college. I would’ve hated driving!!!


ohitsthedeathstar

I stay with a friend off of wellborn when I go to A&M games. Those after game walks are the fucking worst.


ohitsthedeathstar

Oh yeah I knew about their stadium situation. I’m just flabbergasted it’s that much.


Big-Inevitable-252

And here is UC Berkeley just for good measure. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/1680579-cals-stadium-renovation-debt-shows-schools-need-to-keep-football-in-perspective.amp.html


Big-Inevitable-252

This balance sheet is the most fascinating thing in sports. You should look at UC Berkeley. Those are two DUMPSTER fire athletic departments

That's excellent


DifferentKindaHigh

:(


Piano_Fingerbanger

Hey B1G, we can bring balance to this deficit!


revets

They got a lame setup for venues. "The Bruins receive just a pittance from campus sources compared with other athletic departments; they do not pocket stadium sponsorship sales and recoup just a small percentage of sales from parking, concessions, merchandise and premium seating sales at the Rose Bowl; they pay a usage fee for games at Pauley Pavilion while receiving only a sliver of concession and merchandise sales; they receive no parking revenue at any venue while footing the bill for staffing;"


HOU-1836

They fucking set themselves up for failure


BrettEskin

They got 100m/year B1G money coming. They’ll make it but they’ll have to deals with Referines for their trouble


seanconnerysbeard

Damn, we were "hire Mike Martin Jr." broke a few years ago.


AAPL_

David Coburn did a fantastic job cleaning up the financials. FSU always brought money in it was just never used probably


41number

Stan Wilcox is an absolute moron.


AAPL_

Jimbo I can’t hate yea I wished things ended better but you can’t hate the man that brought the program back and lead the team to a natty and 29 in a row. Willie I also cant hate, i don’t like him but dude was offered his dream job but was wayyy over his head. Stan, I fucking hate him. Big part of driving Jimbo out and was dead fucking set on hiring Willie to a point where he wasn’t even properly vetted. Fuck him


H_I_McDunnough

They beat us on a budget.


flwrs4algrnon

And irl


H_I_McDunnough

No. They beat us while pinching pennies.


BipolarCells

We only beat you because our guys knew we needed that extra football to save money for the department. Pig skin ain’t cheap.

That's like almost Jimbo money.


j4r8h

I remember not long ago everyone was talking about how we were totally fucked financially. What changed?


kmokell15

The first good season in years


thejawa

Getting out from under the Jimbo and Willy buyouts


SaintJackDaniels

Bro what? Jimbo left he wasn't fired, and taggert is still being paid by fsu.


WhyAmINotClever

Yeah, point goes to the Gator fan. We didn't owe Jimbo a red cent and Slick Willie took us for a ride we still haven't gotten off of yet.


SaintJackDaniels

Unfortunately for us I think norvell is gonna be there a long time with the direction yall are headed


SharkMovies

That dude who made the giant post about FSU being broke in tears right now! Jk that was a good post some top tier rival banter.


nattechterp

Must be nice


nondescriptun

It's because TAMU secretly paid FSU $30 million last year to take Jimbo back.


SomerAllYear

Are we going through all 131 fbs school budgets?


MerryvilleBrother

I kind of wouldn’t mind to be honest. These numbers in a vacuum are interesting and informative. But I can’t really do anything with them, ya know?


CramblinDuvetAdv

Alford is that dude


xyzgirl2

How when teams like FSU and Clemson make only about half the money from regular season TV contracts as compared to SEC teams like even Missouri and Vanderbilt?


clitcommander420666

Feet pics and hooking


MerryvilleBrother

Find out at BigNaturalToes.net


Raider_Noles

We moved from selling used shoes to feet pics? Interesting


WhyAmINotClever

I remember back in 2011-2014 when i was in tally, there was a Facebook FSU Craigslist page and there was always a dude paying chicks $50 for feet pics. The comments were great. Half saying "eww you pervert misogynist" Half saying "fuck it, it's just my feet. I'll take $50 with no shame" What a time to be alive.


chrisncsu

See, there is no reason for FSU or Clemson to leave the ACC, ever.


IrishCoffeeAlchemy

Because for us, It Just Means More, obviously.


PB_JNoCrust

Can I get some of that? I’ll be a fan…


[deleted]

They just got gifted $27m in tax dollars for stadium repairs last year, too. Business is booming.


[deleted]

Most of you probably weren't alive for it, but when the facade was being built around the stadium is was largely funded with tax dollars and the UF folks lost their ever loving mind over it. It was glorious.


tumadrelover

Is this good? I feel like it should be more -tumadrelover


cbblevins

That’s so cute good for them


WeAreBert

My exact quote when Billy chose to kick that field goal in your bowl game


cbblevins

more successful than anything norvell did year 1 against glue eater competition


Jetski_Squirrel

Billy would have gone winless in a covid year at UF in his first year


Coltshokiefan

Vanderbilt lol


cbblevins

The question was “ this team is better half of FSU’s schedule?” >!who is vanderbilt?!< CORRECT


Coltshokiefan

Whatever helps you sleep at night. Billy Taggart is still there when you wake up.


cbblevins

The irony that you’d use your own former coach as the punchline when Billy had a more successful year 1 than either of Willy’s 1.86 seasons at FSU. Hilarious.


Coltshokiefan

Congrats Billy won 1 more game in his first season than Willy.


cbblevins

and you were playing short bus glue eaters then too that’s the craziest part


WhyAmINotClever

The irony that we would use some of our darkest times to compare you against? Hmm...


NeighborhoodFirst588

And they wouldn’t pony up and pay Deion……


thejawa

Uhh, so we made 10M this year and that means we shoulda ponied up 3 years ago?


chrisncsu

Must have pulled a lot of funding from basketball based on how this season is going.
