FSU football: 3 major areas defense needs to improve in 2024
I am a long-time supporter of FSU defensive coordinator Adam Fuller, understanding the early years were a combination of the pandemic halting player development in the scheme, lack of elite talent, and overall lack of roster depth. The 2023 season saw most of those deficiencies eliminated for the most part, and FSU fielded a top 10 defense(No. 10) according to FEI advanced metrics. The defense carried FSU once Jordan Travis's injury happened and would have stacked up well against any team in the College Football Playoff. The people who were critical of Adam Fuller going into the season praised him in December.

Jim Phillips: ACC will continue to 'fight' against 'disruptive' lawsuits from Florida State, Clemson
Much has changed in the landscape of college athletics since Jim Phillips became the commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference four years ago. Among those shifts and developments have been the introduction of NIL, allowing college athletes to earn money from their name, image and likeness. It’s now legal to gamble on sports in 38 states, including North Carolina, where the ACC was formed 71 years ago and still hosts its headquarters today. And conference realignment — driven by television revenue from football — have made teams look for greener pastures. Since Texas and Oklahoma accepted invitations to join the Southeastern Conference in July 2021, dozens of schools have changed athletic conferences and the Pac-12 no longer exists. The ACC took in two Pac-12 refugees — Cal and Stanford, along with Southern Methodist University — to expand the league to 17 football-playing members in a conference footprint that now stretches from coast to coast.
Friedlander: No more Mr. Nice Guy ... it's about time Jim Phillips took the gloves off and started swinging
CHARLOTTE, NC – The battle lines were drawn even before Florida State filed suit against the ACC and its restrictive media grant of rights last December. The school’s Board of Trustees fired the first salvo in the ACC’s battle for survival by airing its financial grievances against the conference in an open meeting around this time last year. And Clemson has since picked up on the narrative and joined the fray by initiating legal action of its own.
ACC Commissioner Has Blunt Message For Florida State, Clemson Amid Departure Rumors
The dust may have settled for a moment or two in terms of conference realignment but two ACC programs are doing whatever they can to get out of their conference. Florida State and Clemson are caught up in litigation with the ACC, and as revealed by Commissioner Jim Phillips on Monday the conference doesn't plan to back down either.
