FSU set to hire alum Jeff Purinton as AD, sources say
Florida State is set to hire alumnus Jeff Purinton as its next athletic director, with an announcement expected later Monday, according to sources who spoke to ESPN. Purinton spent more than a decade working at Florida State during Bobby Bowden's tenure.
Purinton later worked for more than a decade at Alabama, became Arkansas State's athletic director in 2022 and left that position in 2025 for Learfield. The hire follows Michael Alford's September firing and precedes Florida State's search for a replacement for fired football coach Mike Norvell, with Rick Stockstill serving as interim coach.

College football grades: Notre Dame 'A' mark for marquee victory, Ohio State gets 'F' on Week 10 report card
Notre Dame earned an A after defeating No. 1 Miami 31-24 in a game framed around the Fighting Irish securing a marquee victory. Notre Dame led 24-3 before Miami rallied, but the Irish made the late stops needed to preserve the win. The performance was not perfect, yet the result and the quality of the opponent made it an A-worthy showing.
Ohio State received an F after losing 41-28 to Oregon, with three consecutive long Oregon touchdown drives shaping the game. The Buckeyes have allowed at least 30 points in consecutive regular-season losses for the first time since 1990. Georgia earned an A+ in a 42-7 win at Ole Miss after building a 21-0 lead and preventing a comeback.
Was Notre Dame's 31-24 win vs. Miami worth an A despite the fourth-quarter rally?
