[Bumped to the front page because I don't think many realize the cost of the new improvements]
FSU Football has reached a crossroads. We as a fan base need to decide what type of program we want to have in the future. For FSU to regain national prominence we will have to do a better job at both development and recruiting players. No matter if you believe Jimbo is the right man for the job, I've yet to hear one person say they are against a better nutrition program, strength and conditioning program, more video assistants, an indoor facility, campus housing for the football team and more camps to attract better talent. The only problem with these programs is they are pretty pricey that is were FSU Boosters come in. If you care about FSU football, which anyone reading this post does, then you need not only to join FSU Boosters but talk to at least five friends about joining the boosters. If you can only afford $60 then pay that amount but if you make north of $100K there is no reason you cannot dig a little deeper pay in $300. I have no connection to the boosters outside of being a member but I am a controller for fairly large company therefore am pretty familiar with cash flow. We are dramatically increasing our outflow and need to dramatically increase our inflow to make up for the difference. There are only 15,000 booster members but FSU has around 45,000 students. That number seems just seems ridiculous to me. This may not be the ideal spot for this post but I think this something that is important to all of us as FSU fans. If we increased our booster membership by 5,000 at $100 a person we would almost make up for the shortfall.

I have no idea what the individual salaries so this just my estimation with the exception of Camp cost, which Jimbo referred to in his speech on Monday Night in Jacksonville.
