FSU's budget is their own.  State schools may receive funding from the state but they state does not dictate the school budget.  FSU will have a hard time forcing the state to pay FSU's withdrawal fee and buy back their TV rights so they can join another unknown conference, which may be worse off than the ACC.  This status weakens their arguments in court.  FSU made the contract on their own, they will face the consequences, good and bad, on their own.

Besides, will any UF grad in the legislature support FSU?  Miami grad?  UCF?  USF?  FSU is likely on an island within their own state on this issue.

For the record: [URL="https://www.flgov.com/2023/12/05/governor-ron-desantis-announces-the-focus-on-floridas-future-budget-recommendations-for-fiscal-year-2024-2025/"]Governor Ron DeSantis Announces the Focus on Florida’s Future Budget Recommendations for Fiscal Year 2024-2025[/URL]

DeSantis' budget for 2024-2025 is targeted at $114B.  FSU's buyout would be about half of 1% of Florida's annual budget.
