In my role as co founder and managing partner of Draftline I speak with NIL and rev-share decision makers and NFL agents every day. I love this program, so here's a direct message to FSU leadership, boosters and fans.
Bobby Bowden built a standard at Florida State: 14 straight top-five finishes, two national titles, and a program recruits grew up dreaming about. Every decision made in Tallahassee should protect that standard.
Right now, leadership is lowering it. 10–21 since the 2023 ACC title. 14 straight losses away from Doak. And the reason we keep hearing for accepting it is the buyout.
The actual numbers say we can't afford to keep
Here's what the cost of losing:
• ~$15M a year in added roster (suck tax) and staff spend (no one wants to coach with a dead man walking)
• $7–8M a year in ticket revenue a winning season or new coach excitement brings back
• Season tickets down 18% since 2023
• Booster donor base down 17%
• 2027 recruiting class 43rd nationally, with zero offensive linemen
• No permanent AD since September, and our CFO/Rev Share whiz kid just left for Iowa State
That's $22M+ a year spent to not fire Norvell.
And the upside is real. The ACC lets schools keep 100% of their playoff money. A deep CFP run plus a full Doak is worth $20–28M in a single season.
The buyout is a one-time cost. Drift compounds: in recruiting, in the portal, in donor checks that don't renew.
To leadership: make the decision now. Waiting costs more than it saves.
To Stephen Ponder and @SeminoleBooster: Instead of worrying about what people are posting about you it’s time to line up the commitments now, so the buyout doesn't come out of the operating budget that funds our other 20 sports.
To fans: renew, show up and stay loud. The next coach is selling this program to recruits the day he's hired.
We've been here before, and Florida State always comes back. But it takes a decision not hiding. #Noles

BREAKING: The US Department of Justice is reviewing the forceful ejection of fans wearing XX-XY t-shirts at Friday's Portland Thorns game.
"The Justice Department is aware of these reports and will review the matter thoroughly. Where the facts and the law warrant action, the Department will not hesitate to act."
A DOJ spokesperson also told me, "Based on what is known so far, the conduct described appears to raise viewpoint discrimination and First Amendment questions rather than sex discrimination. The Department is reviewing it."

James Talarico is a radical extremist.
I crunched the numbers on his voting record.
I show it.
Whenever there was a disagreement between Republicans and Democrats in the Texas House during Talarico's time as a Texas Representative from 2019 to 2025, Talarico sided with Democrats 96.8% of the time.
He sided with Republicans less often than 194 of 210 House members.
Only 15 of 82 Democrats were more extreme.
This puts his voting record in the top 7% most extreme left-wing among Texas House Representatives.
In 2026, being an extreme Democrat is really cuckoo.
For comparison, in 2021, the unhinged Jasmine Crockett was in the Texas House with Talarico.
During that year, Crockett voted with Republicans 2.34% of the time. Talarico voted with them 2.38% of the time.
Talarico's numbers were virtually the same as Jasmine Crockett's.
Talarico has claimed that "God is non-binary" and that his goal is to "dismantle" "capitalism, white supremacy, and climate change".
Now we can say with confidence that his voting record tells the same story as his words did -- until he recently suddenly changed his tune.
Talarico's "views" started miraculously "changing" in the past few months.
They became, as he says, "moderate", when he started campaigning against Ken Paxton for the U.S. Senate seat.
What a coincidence.
Talarico is lying.
Talarico is a loony hiding his real views.
He knows that voters would never elect him if he told them truth.
So he doesn't.
@BillisKing it looks like you were right about South Carolina being a house of horrors for Tenn
@BillisKing I think it’s safe to say that baby Beamer will be the head coach at South Carolina next year

Byron Donalds, the next governor of the state of Florida, is confronted by a man who says he’s a woman. Hilarity ensues. Enjoy.
@BillisKing I think that people that pronounce the S on Illinois should be executed. Same with those that can’t pronounce Boca Raton. It doesn’t rhyme with Baton. It is tone.
How about this @BillisKing ? A very sorry Fsu Team beat Matt Ryan’s BC team. Boston College was ranked number two in the nation. That is just crazy.

Vote Yes on 3!
The passage of Amendment 3 will be the largest property tax relief in a generation.
At the same time, local governments will still take in far more in property tax revenue than they would have had revenues merely kept pace with inflation and population growth since 2019.

Who’s with me? #VoteYesOn3 #Amendment3 #Florida
This is about LOWERING the STATE’s Increase! Not about CUTTING BUDGETS
We’ve gone from 45B to 65B in 4 years. This lowers the increase to 53-55B - and leaves plenty of revenue.
Don’t be threatened to think otherwise. We will still have a record amount of funding, and property taxes will continue to go up
VOTE YES on 3 to rein it in, and then let’s come back and overhaul the entire system.
@BillisKing Groff keeps calling Ole Miss, OLD Miss. He does that because he is a carpetbagger and doesn’t know the right way to say it.
@BillisKing can you please address how Griff keeps calling Ole Miss, Old Miss? Please send him back to Detroit, and get him out of the South
