re: Norvell Signs Extension with FSU

Who knows if Alabama actually considered offering him the job. If they did and he turned it down, that's a bit of a risky move IMO. FSU is a good program. No question about that. But the college football landscape is clearly moving to a two conference world...and FSU isn't in one of those conferences. The Big 10 and SEC have all of the negotiating leverage and, it seems, will continue to get more and more lucrative media deals. As such, the ACC will get left behind. That's why FSU wants out, NOW!

Did Norvell get some assurances that FSU will soon find a place in the SEC or Big 10? Or maybe he just leveraged the Bama opening for a bigger contract from FSU when Bama had no intention of ever offering the job to him.
