Sure, it will apply to all state universities, but it will affect the #5 public university differently than it affects the whatever ranking FSU has.

Please Phil, you are better than this. Do you really think that the Disneyfoodblog is objective? Really? Channel 9 in Orlando reported the same thing. Channel 9 is the ABC affiliate. Who owns ABC? That’s right, Disney does!
You never do! BLING, your commentary is best when associated with something that you actually know something about.
Affiliates are independently owned. That station is owned by Cox Media Group, which is principally owned by Apollo Global Management. They simply buy content from Disney.
This is exactly the billshit that Disney is throwing out through their massive media capability. You should know better
No, they buy almost all of their non-local content from Disney. They are going to toe the company line. Just like every other Disney owned affiliate. It didn’t matter who owns the affiliate, they are the puppet while Disney is the Puppeteer and the voice. You guys are going to ridiculous lengths to deny the obvious.
Strange that for all the claims that you are making, you are not providing an evidentiary basis for your claims that they don't pay property taxes.
Again, they aren't a Disney owned affiliate. So your comment about "other Disney owned affiliates" is non-sensical. Affiliates are not beholden to the companies they buy content from in any way. Disney won't pull ABC content from that station specifically because nobody really wants to own local TV affiliates right now, but Disney wants its content in the Orlando market. If anything, Disney is beholden to Cox Media Group, not the other way around.
FSU is #19. UGa at #16 along with UF are the only SEC public universities that rank higher. State of Fl. has two of top 20 publics and DeS and his culture war is going to hurt higher education in Fl.
The CBS affiliate in Orlando work? The exact line is that they pay tremendous property taxes to both counties. Q&A: DeSantis vs. Disney, what does it mean?
How about Florida politics from before this mess? Do they work? I looked it up. The links went against your point. What is Disney World actually worth? Tax assessment battle heads to court
A business disaster for Disney is not necessarily for the state. If Disney loses 5-10% of their profit margin it is a disaster for them. Doesn’t necessarily become a disaster for the state. Just their shareholders and stock price. Nobody is thinking that Disney is going to close up shop for this. It’s just stupid for them to be pissing off half of the population with everything else going on for them. They have sunk billions into their park in China that is still waiting to finish construction, open, and give them the first dime in revenue.
Never thought I'd see the day where folks here would be cheering on/excusing straight up textbook fascism. Pathetic
Interesting that conservatives are celebrating the destruction of what fiscal conservatives would have considered a utopia (privatized building codes, infrastructure, planning, police, fire, etc). No worries future tourists, I’m sure the services and bureaucracy provided by big Guv Desantis will be just dandy!
