Florida State supports Protect College Sports Act, questions conference restrictions
Summary

Florida State University's Board of Trustees met on August 28 to discuss the Protect College Sports Act (PCSA) and a one-game deal with Georgia. The Seminoles intend to play the Bulldogs at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, following a change to their previously scheduled home-and-home series. FSU supports the PCSA aimed at managing transfer limits but opposes a provision that would restrict conference movements by requiring universities to operate independently for five years before joining a new conference, which poses challenges for FSU's potential moves from the ACC. The Senate is expected to debate this provision when it reconvenes in late September.
