In his fourth year in the position, Florida State's Athletic Director has a tall task in front of him.
Despite the complications of attempting to leave the Atlantic Coast Conference staring the Seminole faithful in the face, the conversation between the two seemed to be focused not only on the next few years in Tallahassee but the upcoming decades.
"We're not looking next year," Alford said, speaking in general terms. "We're forecasting where FSU is going to be five, 10, 15 years from now and how do we make sure we're doing our due diligence now to position ourselves. Where is college athletics going to be five, 10 years from now and making sure this is a part of it."
"To use a baseball analysis, we want to run that groundball out," Alford told CBS Sports regarding private equity. "We're looking at what it could mean, what the financial risk is, what the long-term risk is, what's the solution of it."
