How much did Florida State spend on its 2026 football roster?
Florida State’s 2026 roster spending is estimated at just above $20 million, placing the Seminoles in the ACC’s middle tier.
The 2026 Florida State football roster is estimated to cost between $20 million and $29 million, according to CBS Sports' analysis. This places the Seminoles slightly above the $20 million threshold, putting them near the bottom of the spending range among Power Five programs. Only Miami, which is estimated to spend over $40 million, stands above Florida State in the ACC.
The report highlights Florida State as a potentially surprising case, as the program has not spent to its full financial capability despite consecutive losing seasons. The estimates suggest FSU's spending is considerably lower than national contenders and Miami, but higher than programs like Boston College, California, Duke, NC State, Pitt, Stanford, Syracuse, and Wake Forest, which are all estimated below $20 million.
