    The "university" never fails to prove what a low class cesspool of a program they really are.

    Thanks for letting us know. From the article:

    After excluding the first undefeated Power 5 champion in the CFP era, Hancock said some committee and staff members received threats at their homes and offices, and all of them received "the disgusting, profanity-laced emails and phone calls."

    "Every NCAA sports committee receives criticism from the teams who were left out," Hancock said, "I've been doing this 35 years. I've seen it and I understand those fans, but this one was absolutely over the top and inappropriate. In my 35 years, I've never seen anything like this."

    It certainly doesn't sound like one or two disgruntled fans to me.

    Why would any conference want them?

    To a certain extent I get it. Imagine spending years studying law or engineering while having to live in Tallahassee, and then ending up with a degree from a clown school. Probably at the end of their ropes.

    Are we forgetting that this is the school that colluded with law enforcement to bury a rape accusation for 11 months just to keep its QB eligible? What are a couple of death threats?

    Probably need to throw FSUs name in this discussions title..this is the FSU every UF fan knows. Now the entire country gets to see their smelly asses just like we always get to see year in and year out.

    I can’t wait to see the clowns they arrest..football players for fsu..the AD..school president or the rapist himself..don’t underestimate their stupidity. It might be more than just some foolish fans.

    More proof that the SEC should NEVER EVER entertain expanding the SEC with the likes of FSU... or any low school in the ACC like Miami or Clemson.

    I actually find the random idiot fans survivable. It is when the institution, in this case FSU administration, shows its utter disregard for a process it was part of creating that the wheels come off. The ‘culture’ in that ‘leadership’ is pathetic and I hope they whine/sue their way from the ACC to the sun belt.

    this culture that they’ve manifested goes back decades under Bowden. You do realize that they didn’t shoot the President as he once noted.

    It was pretty low under Bowden. Under Fisher, they hit rock and began to drill.

    I get the Holes being upset, but after they lost their QB, they looked terrible. They weren't a top 4 team after that--if they ever were- and the epic beatdown at the hands of the mutts proved that.

    FSU has made some really dumb decisions lately. I think they will lose their lawsuit against the ACC, and I don't see a likely landing spot for them elsewhere that will pay them more than the ACC at this point. Only the Big whatever or SEC can pay more, and I don't see either conference offering. They maybe should have taken that into consideration before they went nuclear.

    They have really painted themselves into a corner.

    No FSU fans are worse..much worse..did you forget when their fans issued death threats to the rapists victim and ran her..a nole student right out of the university in fear for her life. Never once did you hear a statement about it being woefully wrong from anyone in the administration or the TPD.
