Florida State Seminoles Football is falling behind its rivals. However, this isn’t about a bad record, a mediocre and aging coaching staff, or even possibly losing Jimbo Fisher.
FSU is falling behind in football facilities. While the ’Noles upgraded the existing facility and locker room in 2014 and will be building a larger football-only complex soon, Florida and Clemson have lapped them in the years since.
The old adage of “Jimmies and Joes” is still true. What matters most in college football is recruiting. Recruits adore new facilities. And facilities are embodiments of the program investing in them.
