Just reading the tea leaves personally…
- Miami has the offer set forth and it’s a very nice one
- Business 101 is to not take the first offer, leverages FSU’s current position filled with emotional outrage after CFP “snub” and desperation to go on a mission in 2024, as a team he and his family can maybe squeeze similar $ out of. Gives FSU a chance to match or exceed the offer of a despised rival while enjoying the visiting process and partying during FSU grad week.
- also buys him 2-3 more days for a USC or Ohio St (also in desperate positions for different reasons) to get into the game
- If FSU doesn’t match, Miami is in drivers seat and he has to decide if he wants to pursue a third team and risk losing the $, or take the offer
