- Norvell buyout is 85% guaranteed if they fire him before EOC in 2031
- Norvell is making $10 mil per year right now and he gets a raise each year of contract regardless of record
- They spent $12 million in NIL this year almost entirely on portal guys that have been horrible
- HS recruiting has been and continues to be horrible under Norvell
- They’re ranked 34 in the 2025 247 rankings with only 11 commits
- They don’t have a big swingin’ dick money guys to provide stability if any of the major boosters pull out
- Their NIL slush fund, the Battle’s End, has apparently seen a 63% of existing subscriptions cancelled since GT game
- Big time boosters apparently post on their 247 board and are claiming they’re out
- They have no depth and several current commits are apparently about to jump ship

They aren’t gonna be able to fill all those luxury suites they just took out a massive loan to build. The football program might be well in the red here soon assuming ACC doesn’t sign a massive TV deal. FSU might legit have to close up shop at some point.
