FSU replaces athletic director amid leadership transition
Florida State announced that Michael Alford is no longer serving as Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, effective Sept. 14, with Bruce Warwick named interim director as the university launches a national search. Alford’s tenure included early football success under Mike Norvell and a costly Doak Campbell Stadium renovation, but critics cited NIL policy debates and overall program direction as factors in the leadership change, signaling a broader push to recalibrate the athletics department.
