They have proven to be not competitive with the SEC unlike USF did against UF and BAMA.  And I don't know if the SEC good ol boys will appreciate that they will compromise themselves with some dirty investor money to escape.

It really has more to do with the SEC really not needing another team in this state. In fact adding FSU would not be supported by Florida,Georgia,Auburn and Alabama because adding FSU will just be directly hurting those schools. Clemson has the same issue. This is why UNC @nd UVA are more attractive for SEC $$$$$. They don’t really need more competitive teams, they need markets.

I just heard a rumor that FSU was beaten down like a dog.

RUMOR: Stock way down

If I’m FSU, I’d be seriously thinking about refunding the $ of any of their fans who bought tickets to that embarrassment through the athletic department.

Maybe the fans can individually sue the starters (NIL recipients) who sat out.  They could make the players sign a contract with a steep buy out for refusing to contribute to the team's performance.  You want unregulated NIL?  There you go.

The organizers of the bowl game should sue them.

I totally agree that if you choose to sit out a bowl or playoff game for whatever reason, you should pay a very stiff penalty taken out of your NIL and scholarship money.  Contracts should be signed to that effect when someone commits for the next season.

I was actually thinking.  I would be wanting signed agreements solidifying opt outs before signing a team.  From a bowl perspective...

They just wasted all that effort and money.
