WildUte University: Does FSU fit in the B1G?
Join WildUte and Bomber as they take a deep dive into the numbers to see just how Florida State University matches up in the Big Ten. - กีฬา
Those ranks for FSU are even more amazing considering that they have been saddled with an ACC schedule. And using the 21-22 season doesn't reflect their current value since that was a rebuilding year. Come back and check the '23 season stats during a 13-0 season. Put them in the B1G or SEC and they would rank much higher in attendance, TV viewership and income.
Great show fellas great job being FSU fan I'm hoping we get into the Big Ten I think of grown a lot as a program and a lot of that has to do with Bobby Bowden he's a reason why we're a national brand
One man forgotten about is Burt Reynolds who did a lot for Florida State.
He didn't like the sec
Great show guys: Here is another interesting number: Academic Ranking. FSU is actually ahead of Michigan State ( just to use one current Big 10 school), which is a plus for the Noles as well. If FSU becomes available they are a layup for the Big 10.
Top 50 med and law school and a national laboratory. (NHMFL) Top 5 in pool parties.
I cannot wait to see FSU vs Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, USC, Oregon
You're going to wait for a very very long time. FSU failed to gain AAU membership. FSU does have a spot waiting for them in the SEC.
@michaelhart6318 Nope, it's not an absolute requirement. Nebraska is not in the AAU. Besides, FSU is working closely with Mayo Clinic now to greatly expand their research, which is why they didn't get AAU last time around, and will get AAU next time around.
FSU does not need the sec. The sec needs FSU. I'm all for the Noles joining the B1G. @@michaelhart6318
That's why the BIG will add Miami plus one other team. As for the SEC according from multiple reports including one from Dan wetzel of Yahoo sports the SEC has "more opposition than interest" in adding teams like the Seminoles. The BIG 12 would definitely add them.
@@JaxNole61it’s not a requirement, but an semi-spoken rule. Nebraska did have AAU status when they were accepted in the B1G. They lost it shortly after and have been trying to regain it.
Another way to look t it, is FSU's win/loss against the current Big 10 members
FSU 3-0 against OSU
FSU 2-1 against Michigan
FSU 2-0 against MSU
FSU is 2-0 against Colorado
FSU 1-1-1 against PSU
FSU 6-2 against Nebraska
FSU 1-0 against Indiana
FSU 21-2 against Maryland
FSU 1-0 against Wisconsin
FSU 2-0 against USC
FSU 1-0 against UCLA
FSU 0-1 against Oregon
You really counting bowl games where the other teams Heisman finalist sat out?
@@unc0mm0n2 sure buddy the other team's Heisman sat out but not FSU.
@@marcjohnson8488 so you're not an FSU fan...... Either that or you're just ignorant to your history.
What an awesome video fellas! Appreciate you!
FSU is held down by the ACC. I think in all these categories you'd find FSU slotting in the top 3 if they joined. Under Jimbo they were consistently top 5 in the country in recruiting. If they were in the BIG10 there is no reason to think they wouldn't be right there with Ohio St for tops in the B10.
They’d be one of the top recruiting because of the state alone. That is until a pecking order is established in the new B1G. A lot of major programs are about to humbled. With how wealthy Ohio State is and the Nike backing of Oregon, I doubt they are the ones humbled. Michigan would be in that list too, but the coaching and roster changes leave loads of questions.
Also keep in mind the financial data was taken over some of FSU's worst years and didn't include the 2023 season which im sure bumped everything up as far as viewers, merch, ticket sales etc.
Most of this was the 21-23 season that was considered for their metrics, while only the later 2 years were considered successful unlike the previous 6 or 7 years
One of TheWildUte’s best shorts! Well worth the monthly investment
Excellent video. I will also add that the revenue, tickets, viewership data is coming from 21-22, which is arguably the rock bottom of the program before Norvell and the team turned the program around. No bowl eligibility, lost to an FCS team.. rough year all around.
This is the most unbiased opinion I’ve seen online for FSU! Business wise FSU can’t sell their brand for short staying in the ACC!
Heck of a job guys🍢
Great video. As an FSU fan, can’t wait to get in this conference
Thank you for the information and statistics. Extremely interesting. Well done!
Fantastic work Wild Ute!!
Much appreciated, Joe.
Great job Ute
Thanks Dave - more coming
Great breakdown! It would be interesting to see a similar breakdown about how a potential #20 in the B1G would compare ---- Clemson, Miami, UNC, GT.
I agree. It would be a great video to see how Miami, Clemson, UNC, and GT compare.
How available do you think any of those schools will be?
@@benjaminhawkes6693 depends upon the price for FSU determined either by Judgement or Settlement.
Do Clemson next
@@immaculate5784 judgement for FSU isn't necessarily a pathway for someone else to exit. That is a bit of a myth. It could be that FSU's higher value appeals to a judge when he awards damages (making FSU's exit more expensive than other schools). It could be that courts find FSU's arguments compelling but less compelling from schools that sat on their hands during the same time period apparently acquiesing to what FSU is calling intolerable... for an even greater period of time... not complaining until they thought they could get away with it.
A settlement is absolutely not a pathway for others to leave. Settleing with a party does not mean all other parties are entitled to the same settlement. Just one consideration beyond the fact the ACC doesn't have to offer the same settlement to different schools: FSU can offer things of value that other schools would have to offer money for instead... for example: It could be that part of the settlement agreement is that FSU will play 45 games over the next 15 years. That is something FSU can offer that other schools can't. Even UNC offering 120 BB games wouldn't be on the same value level... (and you probably get those for free, because it would be very easy for UNC to continue to play Duke/NCSU/UVA in BB every year... harder to give up precious football games). The game exchange has precedent in the ACC/Big East dispute btw.
This is the best analysis I have seen yet on YT!
Oregon was the FOX pick and so is FSU. Not surprising at all that their overall value is the same in your final overall analysis. Great job.
Actually Oregon was the pick of BOTH Fox and the Big 10. How? Originally the Big 10 wanted Oregon to go with USC, but Fox wanted UCLA to control LA.
@@davidbrown386Oregon almost went in the 1st round with USC because Cal tried to block UCLA from leaving the PAC 12.
Immaculate: Thank you for the correction: One point: We can agree that USC is a slam dunk choice for anyone who can get the Trojans ( just like Texas). But if UCLA would not have been available, it makes me wonder was it Fox or the Big 10 that preferred UO to UW?
@davidbrown386 I believe it was Fox that preferred Oregon and the B1G preferred Washington.
Fox wants Miami
Loved this and shared it!
miss you guys
Great show. Great info. Thanks.
Great show and analysis!
Great show! Love it. Very well done
FSU was considered a girl's school until the late 60ies, they did have a FB program, but it really didn't. Bobby Bowden's arrival in 1976 began the FSU FB program. If you redo your chart from 1976 until today FSU would probably be in the #1 spot.
Wrong about FSU not having a good football team before Bobby. Go back and look at the Bill Peterson era in the 60's. Fred Biletnikoff, Ron Sellers, Steve Tensi were stars for him, among others. His 1964 team went 9-1-1 and beat Oklahoma in the Gator Bowl. But you are correct that if you look at the last 40 years FSU would rank at least in the top 3.
Peterson had Bill Parcels and Joe Gibbs and Bobby Bowden on his staff...
@@cgiii2440 Wow! Talk about a coaching tree.
Very interesting stuff. Love it!
Always a great show as usual, it really shows that you guys do your homework fantastic job.
This is only football. What FSU will bring to all the college sports team especially Women’s college sports ...will be exponential to the BIG 10!!!!
Great work! I would like to see how Notre Dame, Clemson and Miami would look on this.
Clemson is next!
@@wildute6958 I'm interested in seeing how these pan out!
Great information would to see that for the new BIG 12
Nice show! It's a matter of when at this point.
This is a breat look! What love to see updated analysis with some of the other candidates discussed (ND, Clemson, UNC, Miami). Would be great to see all the potentials listed!
Great analysis. So looking forward to joining the Big Ten. Go Noles.
I really hope the big ten is forward thinking and grabs as many good acc teams as they can. FSU, NC, NC State(prob required for NC), Clemson, Miami. Leave the 24th spot for ND.
Great show. Go Noles
If FSU continues to climb and becomes the powerhouse of old, the SEC will have found it's match. I've been so tired of hearing how the SEC is the only conference.
Especially if USC gets back to normal.
I’ve never heard that the SEC is the only conference. It’s been the most dominant conference the past 2 decades but that doesn’t mean there aren’t great programs that rise or fall inside or outside the SEC. There will always be great programs that rise up for certain periods of time that are great regardless of conference affiliation.
FSU really likes the Big 10 too!
FSU will rise again!
SEC ain't the only conference. Basketball has the ACC and the Big12
I’d love to see what the portal recruiting comparison looks like too. It’s becoming a second arm of the system that recruiting is moving toward and I believe it is worth considering too.
No doubt... and the NIL game as well. FSU's NIL collective is a top 5 outfit nationally right now.
Don’t forget FSU has 40-50 years less playing football then all those other schools. Imagine the weeks ranked #1, titles, heismans etc.
The financials change drastically moving conferences. Tickets, ad revenue, and several categories of miscellaneous revenue would grow for FSU in the B1G.
FSU and Oregon are probably going to be above PSU in viewership (assuming FSU moves) playing those bigger brands and each other (and Oregon is playing their big brands still from the PAC).
a) MD's attendance and donations dropped after its move, but perhaps unrelated. MD was also a founder while FSU remains a journeyman at heart.
b) I maintain that FSU's extended fanbase will shrink relative to FLORIDA after a move to the B1G due to less attractive matchups and likely deep on an island.
@@tarheel7406 I don't know what you mean by extended fanbase, I tend to think of those as "bandwagon" fans. FSU doesn't get a lot of visiting fans because it is already in a poor location in general (near no major metros... only a few mid-sized cities nearish). But it also suffers from being in a poor location relative to conference mates. That doesn't actually get worse moving to the B1G. The bulk of the conference is realistically flying distance in either case. It's painful to drive to NC and beyond painful to go beyond that. B1G fans travel better, and several schools have large Florida alumni bases, partly because they are larger schools... partly because retirement from Virgina/North Carolina or points south does not as frequently include a move to Florida.
I would suggest we aren't going alone, at least not in the long term. The B1G, if smart, would swallow the entire southern ACC minus Wake.
I've seen that the NC legislature is flirting with the idea of tying NCSU and UNC to the same conference... or at least giving the BoG the option to do so. So take them both if you are the B1G. Take both Virginia schools too. They are all adequete additions academically (at the very least). Take Duke as well. GT, Miami, Clemson, FSU. Considering Maryland, PSU, Rutgers there is a dominant east coast presence that would help the B1G stay relevant in a demographic shift. That eastern wing has a lot of history together.
If you want UNC, while boosters are seemingly actively preferring the SEC, such a move would make the B1G undeniably attractive.
I doubt the B1G will make such a move though. I'd just point out that Miami was fine in the Big East on an island. FSU is fine on attendance... what they need is more demand to push ticket prices higher. I know they would get that in the SEC. I think they would at least see improvement in the B1G.
@@benjaminhawkes6693
"I don't know what you mean by extended fanbase, I tend to think of those as 'bandwagon" fans.'"
In the case of a #2, mostly non-alum Florida residents.
"That [location relative to conference members] doesn't actually get worse moving to the B1G."
Huh? I'd say worse than currently and certainly worse relative to FLORIDA.
"B1G fans travel better...."
I don't see gate, parking, etc. being that material at the Tier 1 level.
"I would suggest we aren't going alone, at least not in the long term."
Long term is too speculative, and +MIAMI doesn't really solve the island problem. GATECH? +CLEMSON doesn't look likely. UNC looks to be to SEC, and UVA tied to VATECH. Only the 3 expansion objectors have the strongest GOR challenge.
"The B1G, if smart, would swallow the entire southern ACC minus Wake."
But it won't and invested too heavily west. That would be the smart SEC play to 24.
"If you want UNC, while boosters are seemingly actively preferring the SEC, such a move would make the B1G undeniably attractive."
As I've been writing since ~Day 1? Regardless, an SEC that locks down the greater Southeast plus sprinkles is a better investment than the B1G.
"Miami was fine in the Big East on an island. "
MIAMI was built as a national brand since it's private. Its extended fanbase is based on success and image.
@tarheel7460
a) You are a confirmed troll, fraud, and idiot. A complete contrast to Benjamin, a logical and rational FSU fan.
b) A number of MD fans have commented on the drop in attendance/donations, closures of business that support the venues as well. Your ignorance and stupidity is not my responsibility to remedy.
c) I no longer care what FSU does relative to UNC. I once preferred FSU as part of a bloc to the B1G, but that no longer appears relevant.
hi guys
I assume Maryland was in the top 25 in recruit perception because of all the P5 recruits in the DC area. I don't know the specifics of the 247 poll but, if they polled random P5 recruits, there will be inherent local bias around recruiting hotbeds that would explain the presence of Maryland. It's still useful data, because it demonstrates the potential of Maryland, but understanding this context creates other questions, such as why isn't the USC brand stronger, given its LA location? I would guess the answer is that recruits not located in the West are not interested in west coast football, except for the permeating interest in the Oregon brand. In fact, Oregon may be more popular than USC, even in LA.
Maryland is in a good position because they have a good recruiting staff right now, and, yeah, they are in that DC/PA/hampton roads area of some of the best recruits not in the deep south. This is a snapshot of the present, and certainly not reflective of history. Perhaps it is showing us that Maryland will be someone to watch in the future.
My Huskers still number 4 in blue blood rank even with 8 losing seasons the last 9 years
Fsu has been down the last few years wait till we have a few consistent seasons with coach Norvell. We will be ranked top 3 in everything on these charts.
The blue blood ranking doesn’t take into account that FSU didn’t start playing football til like 60 years after all the ones above them
Rutgers fan here. Interesting breakdown. Missing piece though is FSU is not an AAU member.
The chart with the high school kids is a little off considering it didn't count 2023, that being said from 2016-2021 was probably fsu worst period in their history. Another thing blue blood programs, fsu didn't really play football until the 50's. So Michigan & teams like that started in late 1800's
Exactly, FSU would be much higher on those charts.
Most of FSU games are late when Ohio state has a bunch of noon games.Fox are also the channel that the gyms have on the machines
The greatest last game of Bowden was against JoePa and Penn state, it gives both teams a new rivalry. Thank you for sharing facts and not feelings. So many people hate Fsu and dont realize their hating eyeballs keep FSU as a Tier One school regardless of feelings! Just imagine what they could do with a little support from an actual REAL B1G conference! People forget Fsu was the original Nike, cool school even with Oregon being Phil knights alma mater! Oregon has the finances and cool uniforms but no results on the field with 0 rings!
I give this video a genuine like. But "Paulson ratings"? Come on bro. You seem like someone who just learned about this topic.
What denominator did you use for the viewership data?
I'm still not a fan of the methodology as I shared on the show about Clemson's fit. The reason Nebraska you're surprised by Nebraska is because of recency bias which isn't a true reflection of the program's historical value.
For example, the Packers were terrible from 1970-1990. A person using a similar methodology in 1991 only using 3-year sample sizes and such would conclude negative things about the franchise. When the sample size is 1919-2019, the picture looks completely different and we better understand why the smallest market in American sports has one of the biggest brands and extraordinary valuation relative to its size. And that's factoring only 2 Super Bowl wins in over 50 years.
FSU is new money relatively speaking while Nebraska is old money. But they're both money. But I agree with the conclusion that FSU is a great fit for the conference unlike Clemson.
Wasn't the recruit brand perception poll taken in DC?
If so, that would not be as representative a metric as the other factors (and would explain why Maryland it bizarrely high). If you took the poll in Minneapolis you night get the Gophers bizarrely high.
Even if it were representative, that poll is redundant with the recruiting rankings.

Please dont comment until you have done you research.
Per WIKI, FLORIDA was founded circa 1853 and became the University of Florida circa 1910. FSU was founded circa 1854 and became Florida State University circa 1948.

Currrent president McCullough, who was formerly the Vice Provost for Research at Harvard, has made research spending a priority. Spending has increased to over $500 M for 2023, which puts it in AAU territory. Although it literally has no bearing on the quality of education, AAU membership is just a matter of time.
@@Combee1 FSU is a great university. Top 65-70 nationwide. The B1G would only lift the profile to even higher ranks with increased research spending, AAU status, and entry into the B1G Academic Alliance.
UTE will use these metrics to launch an attack on NCState. He selling narrative that NCState doesn’t fit Big12. He does not provide this multi-show attack on VaTech even tho it has some similar metrics to NCState. Other points- amount of time UTE devoted to attacking the Ncsu unc ( so called backpack)- while not attacking the UVA VaTech Legilative link. Both VaTech and NCState have passionate Fb fan bases, are large R1 Unvirsities (ncsu largest in NC), and considered very sec like by sec people who live in NC. Several key schools in Big12 have coaching ties as well as history of fb play with NCState- Ute is being provided cover to launch this denigration ofvNCState by the claim he is only using stats such as perceptions.

Someone needs to learn the difference between median and average.
Lolzer. If I said the average B1G team when stack ranking that was a fopa. It’s the median. I did take the average of the 5 measurement categories though. Thanks for watching
@@wildute6958 Yeah, I mean michigan state did end up being an average team if we just look at your numbers... and averaged them, but they were often the median teamin each category. In any case... talking about the median was better because otherwise you are giving equal weight to all these numbers by arbitrarily averaging them together. I don't think a lot of these numbers carry the same levels of import. For one thing, a blue blood that doesn't actually win anything in almost 20 years isn't that interesting compared to several teams that actually have made the old playoff format or were very recently screwed out of being in that format because some old dude was about to retire and ESPN wanted to air his swan song.
Big-10 schools are very likely to put some serious weight on academics, and research... areas where FSU is just so-so but climbing. They are very distant from UNC/GT/Duke in both areas. I mention these three because I believe the B1G will want one or all of them to sell the FSU add to academics minded presidents.
UCLA/USC/Washington do a lot to carry academically blah Oregon for example.
In at least two categories FSU will improve massively very soon (recruiting average and recruit perception).
There are some clear trendlines so averages (averaging teams over several years) are a bit misleading. A discussion of trendlines, recent success, growth areas etc. would be helpful because you can bet the B1G is talking in those terms.
FSU is an SEC team all the way.
You could say Florida State is a good fit for the SEC based on these categories
True, but much less upside for the SEC because of UF. B1G fits like a glove. Next iteration of model includes Academics and Market.
"HOME-IN!!" It's home-in. Hone-in doesn't mean anything.
No way in hell Nebraska @Penn state is a head of fsu
I don't get it either. Nebraska has not been relevant in 20 years. They only 4 10 win seasons. FSU has 9 plus a NC. FSU finished in the Top five 14 years straight from 1987-2000. Nebraska even in their prime winning years never did that.
You are failing to account academics and the BTAA
Yes @powell4661... let's account for academics:
FSU's admission numbers for class of 2028: Avg GPA: 4.4, Avg. SAT: 1410, Avg. ACT: 31... that compares favorably to just about any B1G public school.

At FSU we do a lot of things well. Playing football and partying are only two of them.
@@Combee1 I know that the academics are way better at FSU than during the Bowden Era. However, the Big10 requires AAU to join the conference because the Big10 academic alliance makes HUGE money off of the shared research. In Nebraska's case, Nebraska was a member of the AAU, but very shortly after admittance, the Nebraska state legislature made deep cuts in funding research and lost their AAU accreditation. I have no idea how the BIG10 is going deal with that, if at all.
No. FSU has made several attempts to gain AAU membership and have failed. Academically, FSU is a lousy fit for the BIG. FSU has a spot waiting for them in the SEC.
FSU will get the AAU this year. They missed AAU last year due to changing of university leadership. Their new president was from Harvard and he is working hard to boost FSU’s academic profiles.
They recently got beat out for AAU by Miami & USF
@@jamesw4445 That FSU did not get the same unworthy invite as MIAMI/ND and that OREGON was not expelled should not be ignored. 2021 R&D Expenditures (per at least one source):
NCSTATE (#53) ~$547M
VATECH (#54) ~$542M
GEORGIA (#57) ~$494M
USF (#68) ~$405M
KANSAS (#72) ~$386M
MIAMI (#75) ~$376M

UCONN (#88) ~$302M
IOWAST (#077) ~$360M
NEB (#087) ~$307M
CUSE (#144) ~$152M
OREGON (#149) ~$139M
The first three of the 2nd batch were effectively expelled from the AAU.
WAKE (#102) ~$264M
ND (#106) ~$240M
CLEMSON (#107) ~$237M
Why were better candidates passed over? This all suggests (but doesn't prove) that MIAMI & ND are potential B1G additions but not FSU.
Once again you comment on something you know nothing about. FSU is top twenty in the country academically for public schools.
The reason FSU didn't receive AAU status last time around was due to research. FSU is now working with Mayo Clinic to greatly advance their research and will get AAU status next time around.
They need AAU, but FSU also needs a bigger endowment
Your all full of crap. The ONLY REASON these teams consistantly win is because they have big money backing them.
Same teams every year in playoffs.
They have cheated the systems for 30 to 40 years by paying big time players. Now they can legally do the same thu g with NIL. Look where the best players are transfering to, tells the whole story.
Take away the money and within 5 to 10 years these teams wouldn't be any better than every other college.
Players wouldn't clammer to go to colleges 500 to 2000 miles away if the money wasn't there.
This clowns can Bull Chit themselves with all there yapping, but everybody knows it true.
Big moneyhas destroyed college sports!
