Episode notes
Florida State's 'Investment' May Be Cosmetic
- Florida State kept Mike Norvell and promised more program investment but hosts remain skeptical about real NIL spending.
- Chip and Danny warn this may be cosmetic reorganizing rather than meaningful roster funding.
Announce Support Early To Calm Donors
- If you keep a coach, announce support early to avoid fan backlash and donor pullback.
- Danny recommends clear, immediate resource commitments rather than vague future evaluations.
AD Philosophy Shapes NIL Reality
