FSU Coach Mike Norvell Donates $4.5M Through Restructured Contract

The contribution supports Florida State's Vision of Excellence initiative, aimed at enhancing student-athlete resources and preparing for new revenue-sharing rules.

Mike Norvell restructured his contract to donate $4.5 million to Florida State's Vision of Excellence fundraising campaign.
The campaign focuses on improving student-athlete experiences, facilities, and fan engagement while adapting to upcoming revenue-sharing rules in college sports.
The House settlement agreement, effective July 1, 2025, allows Division I schools to share at least $20.5 million annually with athletes.
Norvell's decision follows a challenging 2-10 season for Florida State, a sharp decline from their ACC championship-winning 13-1 season in 2023.
FSU Athletic Director Michael Alford praised Norvell's leadership and called on others to contribute to the program's future success.
