FSU Athletic Director has Surprising Answers on ACC, Additions, + Revenue | Cal | Stanford | SMU

[@mikeholley4488]

Michael Alford is bringing back Seminole dominance across the board. Thanks from the fan base

[@ChrisL531985]

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Michael Alford is the best AD in college. He knows what he’s doing across the board. If we had him years ago he would’ve never hired Taggart.

[@RobWest-sc9rx]

Michael Alford is the best AD in College Football, period!! He definitely puts Florida State first, and is doing his absolute best to put FSU in position to be back to a championship caliber university now and in the future! Thank you for all that you do for Nole Nation, Mr. Alford!!

[@NorthGeorgiaJosh]

Thank you AD Alford! We appreciate everything you have done to help FSU grow! It says a lot about you that you are willing to come on this channel to! Go Noles

[@thornehauser9511]

Huge thanks to Michael Alford for taking time out of his day and giving us an inside look at what's going on behind the scenes at FSU.

[@scrappinwolf220]

@Roman Totally agree with you ...The Big Ten is the best conference for FSU for many reasons

[@trclark7689]

Love seeing AD Alford interviewed, it's too bad it wasn't longer, but great none the less!

Know you can’t say it, but I’d love to see that helmet playing in the Big Ten!

Wow, it's really good. It's very attractive and the AD is very interesting

[@immaculate5784]

Well done TJ

[@rlhaff3560]

Great job Mr Alford!!! Go Noles!!!

[@LarryHatch]

FSU has an amazing criminal justice major that no one else can match. Of course, having so many football alum and current players' arrest and parole records to study surely gives them an advantage.

[@johnschaaf7701]

A bunch of Canes should be happy that they’re so good. They’re out on the street😂

[@JonathanReed1970]

TJ, were you really sitting outside the location waiting to do the interview for Tavyon Wallace until he selected Arkansas? There is a photo floating around.

[@DoubleFriesNoSlaw]

No

[@davewallace1613]

Stadiums that change too much for more space an less people make a worse experience. Part of the experience is hearing the crowd roar an be loud an if it loses that I ain't going no matter what amenity you add

[@harryhoesch3793]

How much would your SEC buy-in be? More that your ACC buyout? Would you ever recoup your outrageous losses. How much for the horse? Much wampum? Pitiful, begging. Miami holding it's head up high. Academically as well. Ask the Big 10.

[@harryhowell5644]

Went from horrible ADs to a respectable one. Go noles😮

[@mikemyrick1458]

Yo what's up TJ. Awesome interview with the man Mike Alford this dude is Awesome! GO NOLES 🍢🍢

[@garlandalmarode6396]

Fsu has a contract and gave their word on that.

[@DoubleFriesNoSlaw]

The ACC did too. FSU is claiming they breached. We’ll see what the judge says.

[@jim1968]

@@DoubleFriesNoSlaw That is the smartest thing you have said yet. No clickbait. Just truth. Wish you could present in this manner more often. I might even subscribe.

yeah, no contract has ever been re-negotiated mutually or challenged in court. we are true rogue renegades in this unprecedented act of insubordination

[@EarvinWilliams-gb2qd]

In Mike we trust# All I got to say

[@gnorley]

Other schools of note: Georgia Tech, Miami & Notre Dame. Remember that list along with FSU.

[@davidfloyd9134]

Having GT, WF, BC, Syracuse, SMU, CAL & Stanford in one conference is a joke.

[@rodneyleonard8453]

Beyond a joke😂

[@richardsnyder842]

It's that Wolf Pack that been the issue....three in a row over the Noles..😁😁😁

[@Mr.rogers1969]

You're talking about very fine institutions. That is where people on outside start to dislike FSU fans and the school.

[@Mr.rogers1969]

I guess Maryland, Indiana, Minnesota, Rutgers, Nebraska, Northwestern, Illinois, Iowa and Michigan State is a murders rows schedule. 😅😅

[@garlandalmarode6396]

SMU is preseason top 25 in some polls without the benefit of being in a P5 conference. They are potentially a great addition.

[@christopherkipp912]

You want more people in Tallahassee for games. Get the hotels to stop gouging us.

[@kalebpost20]

Don’t be surprised if you see an Alford statue somewhere on campus one day

[@Shane46587]

The Alford Center has a ring to it.

[@MarkeeCrenshaw]

Michael Alford and Richard D. McCullough need Statues

[@garlandalmarode6396]

Why?

[@garlandalmarode6396]

Your Basketball stinks. You ve had 1 good season in forever in football.

[@MarkeeCrenshaw]

@garlandalmarode6396 because they getting us out this bullshit league that's why.

[@garlandalmarode6396]

The Acc had to bring in those 3. Even if it meant losing Fsu. Those 3 are more valuable.

[@DoubleFriesNoSlaw]

lol put down the crack pipe

[@Mr.rogers1969]

Better way to go about leaving a conference than like a 2 yr old. I know money is the driving force but do you have to burn bridges with everyone.

[@garlandalmarode6396]

Nobody held Fsu back.

Go to the Big 10 or Big 12 and be middle of the pack like you ve been in the Acc.

I want the ACC to continue to exist. I hope their contract drops to 15 million per team per year. I hope Miami is stuck there for eternity.

[@Mr.rogers1969]

@@RA19931999 Why is FSU scared of Miami and NCSU. It's like Jimbo when Clemson was kicking their arse and he ran to Texas A&M.

[@MichaelSmith-xb5cp]

He said FSU's peers are the Alabama's, the Michigan's, the USC's, the Texas's, the Ohio State's of the world... all (.700) programs coincidentally, along with Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Boise State. THE only metric that determines peerage amongst.(.700) programs is SRR( Scheduled Road Ratiing). SRR has nothing to do with wins or losses but it does indicate the rate your program is scheduling TRUE ROAD SCHEDULED GAMES or SCHEDULED Neutral site games against the above (.700) programs per decade. 1 POINT awarded per agreed scheduled game in the (.700) teams HOME stadium, 1/2 (.5)point is awarded per scheduled neutral sight game . Zero points are awarded per Bowl, Champ, unscheduled, or other type of REWARD exhibition , Beauty competition type contest. The sample period is the past 20 calender years averaged into the most contemporary decade. Clemson SRR is 1.5 FSU is only slightly better at 1,75...and this is mostly because they've played scheduled games in South bend.....NOT Tuscaloosa, the Big House, the SHOE, the Colesium, Norman, the Blue turf, or AUSTIN, where FSU has NEVER played a scheduled game.. the FACT is Clemson or FSU have never played TEXAS Longhorns ever , and Boise State is undefeated against the Seminoles. What the FSU Athletic Director cleverly did, was name off Oklahoma State's and Stanford's peers, because they have SRR's against those teams at 10 and 9.5, respectively . Notre Dame's SRR is 9.....these are the type of teams that have been actually scheduling and playing road games against FSU's so-called peers. It's also the core reason they haven't been ticking off 10 11 12 win seasons like clockwork... high SRR is challenging, and FSU hasn't been challenged except in reward bowls.

[@davidfloyd9134]

Rumor is that the Big12 is willing to pay FSU on par with the Big10 & SEC to join the Big12.

[@RayPetty-ho9wi]

Never heard anything like that and I follow every major podcast. Not to mention it’s the networks that pay not the conference. No matter what FSU didn’t through all this trouble to join the Big 12.

[@garlandalmarode6396]

The Big 12 is desperate. Utah possible to the Acc.

[@RA19931999]

Even if that were true (it's not) Id rather FSU take less money in the B1G than join a conference like the Big 12. In short, FSU as a brand is too good for a conference like the Big 12.

[@marcjohnson8488]

Yes it is a rumor

[@romanmoronie]

I keep hearing about FSU entertaining thoughts about the SEC. Now, I have nothing against the SEC any more than any other school; Im a Michigan grad and ambivalent. I find this realignment thing entertaining from a business perspective. I also reserve my hatred for something really evil; Disney/ESPN. Why anyone would choose to do business with Disney escapes me. They kicked you in the nuts, and now you ask for more?
