Once again, we’re saying “you have to bounce back from last season” while heading into a new year of Florida State football, except this time, the need to do so is even more important. Jordan Silversmith tackled comments from head coach Mike Norvell in Charlotte, where he emphasized the differences in what’s changed from 2024:
Darrell Jackson, come break this rock

Well, well, well, look who wants
to get in on the part. Sources have informed Inside Carolina that the North Carolina Tar Heels are among the schools looking for greener pastures as the next era of realignment looms:
As currently constructed, the ACC’s days could be numbered, with the Clemson and Florida State settlement agreement providing a substantial victory to member schools for exploring possible pathways toward leaving the conference and relocating to greener financial pastures. And any such group interested in seeking a potential departure from the ACC includes North Carolina, multiple sources told Inside Carolina. The Tar Heels even could be considered at the front of that pack, alongside Clemson, sources said about the next round of realignment that’s brewing.
Make no mistake, now, multiple sources told IC, the SEC is where the Tar Heels are aiming under the leadership of Roberts and Newmark, should UNC move to leave the ACC for another league, perhaps in the near future.
Back in 2023, as you might recall, athletic director Bubba Cunningham was on his high horse shaming Florida State for exploring greener pastures (well before any lawsuits were announced):
“I don’t think it’s good for our league for [Florida State] to be out there barking like that. I’d rather see them be a good member of the league, support the league and if they have to make a decision, then so be it. Pay for the exit fee, wait for your grant of rights that you’ve given, and then in 2036, when those rights return to you, do whatever you want. Everyone would like to have more money, and everyone would like to win more. I don’t think you have to have the most money to win the most games, and I think we’ve demonstrated that over the years. If they want to leave, then that’s going to be their choice. But there are certain obligations that they do have. We have an exit fee, and we have a grant of rights… I’m not sure how you can just say, ‘Just kidding. I didn’t like the deal that was struck, and now I want to get out of it.’
