Culver Column: New scoreboard nothing to scoff at
ALWAYS WATCH IN 1080p HD, WIDE SCREEN
TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Believe it or not, there are people who claim to be supporters of Florida A&M who aren’t pleased with Florida State’s recent scoreboard gift.
Milton Overton Jr. and Stan Wilcox, the athletic directors of FAMU and FSU, respectively, negotiated the donation of Doak Campbell’s south-end zone scoreboard to Bragg Memorial Stadium. The Seminoles don’t need the old board – they’re spending millions on upgrades.
The components of the board have been taken to Bragg Memorial Stadium, and it’ll cost FAMU’s athletic department about $125,000 to get the scoreboard installed.
Check social media and you’ll see there’s a bit of a 70-30 divide on the board. The majority see the gift for what it is: A much, much larger school helping out another local institution because it needs some assistance.
There’s a group saying something else, though. There are some people who are saying FAMU doesn’t need to be a “charity case.”
