Best governor in the Union! By far!
The drama from the NCAA’s massive screw-up of not putting Florida State into the College Football Playoff has ratcheted up, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis now pledging $1 million to back possible lawsuits against the CFP Selection Committee.
DeSantis announced the plan Tuesday, officially making the funds a part of the Sunshine State’s budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year. The governor stated the funding would be allocated to “any litigation expenses that may come as a result of this really, really poor decision by the College Football Playoff to exclude an undefeated team,” according to the Tampa Bay Times.
DeSantis argues that the crisp undefeated 13-0 record of the Seminoles should “really be significant, and they’re telling us that it doesn’t — that other factors matter more.”

I might be a Miami loyalist, but I bleed Florida blood, and I am absolutely LOVING this!
People can knock DeSantis for this all they want, but as a citizen of Florida (which has no state income tax and the greatest policies in America), I absolutely adore the idea of DeSantis using a cool mil in an attempt to right this wrong.

Yeah, a football game that involves billions of dollars, potential rigging by the NCAA and Disney (ESPN), and blatant bias. The way Florida State — the undefeated conference champions — got screwed is truly historical. And point, blank, period, it needs to be fixed.
And that’s exactly what my man Ron DeSantis is trying to do … what a hero!
