Florida State fan website launches crowdfunding campaign for Mike Norvell buyout

Following a 27-24 loss to SMU on Monday, a fan-led website has begun soliciting donations to fund the buyout of Florida State Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell. The domain savefsufootball.com proposes that 250,000 fans contribute $102 each to cover half of the coach's current buyout figure. Organizers state the effort is intended to address recent team performance and return the program to a level of championship contention. While the site features statistics and a stated mission to move on from the current coaching staff, it lacks formal documentation regarding the handling of potential funds. The initiative emerged immediately after the Seminoles fell to the No. 19 SMU Mustangs. Florida State is scheduled to play No. 12 Alabama this Saturday in Tuscaloosa.
