Florida State X Account Falsely Claims 3.261 Team-Record GPA, Drawing Community Note
1 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 20
Florida State’s official X account touted a 3.261 spring football GPA as a team record, but users added a community note saying last spring’s mark was slightly higher.
A quick check of prior school figures backed the note, undercutting the post even though the 3.261 GPA still kept the team above a 3.2 average for a second straight year.
The claim landed badly with fans because the Seminoles have gone 7-17 over the past two seasons, with only three conference wins, leaving little appetite for off-field milestones.
That disconnect has sharpened pressure around coach Mike Norvell and the program, as academic progress offers scant relief from mounting frustration over on-field results.
