Florida State Fans Start Fundraising Website for Mike Norvell's $49M Buyout
Fans of the Florida State Seminoles have created a website for people to donate to help cover the cost of Mike Norvell's buyout.
Florida State fans, dissatisfied with the team's performance, have initiated a fundraising effort to assist with the cost of terminating head coach Mike Norvell's $49 million buyout. The website savefsufootball.com was established to solicit donations, aiming to gather $25.5 million through contributions of $102 from 250,000 FSU supporters.
Despite the goal not yet being met, the website emphasizes its status as an independent fan perspective and is not endorsed by Florida State University, Seminole Boosters, or Mike Norvell. While a successful fundraising campaign could provide a significant financial boost, it would still be necessary to secure an additional $75 million for Florida State to fully execute the decision to part ways with the coach.
The buyout alone is estimated to cost roughly half of what Florida State would need to consider if it chooses a new direction. Currently, the team stands at 1-1 after a recent loss to SMU. The Noles are scheduled to travel to Alabama on September 19.
