The Seminoles are having a difficult time getting funding for everyday essential appliances. According to Tallahassee Democrat reporter Jeffrey Burlew, Florida State is lacking donations for new toilets and urinals, as well as old rebar in their football stadium. Burlew quoted the university's athletic director, who said, “Frankly those aren't the kinds of things that donors dream of putting their names on.”

One Twitter user responded to Burlew's tweet, saying that he would love to have his own plaque on a toilet stall.

Another answered with a mathematical equation that seems to make sense.

Many other people argued that the school shouldn't be taking extra money from tax payers to fund a project that already has so much income. Regardless, Florida State is eager to get things figured out as soon as possible.

Coburn addressed the issue in the Tallahassee City Commission chambers on Thursday afternoon. There, the Intergovernmental Agency met to discuss the recent Seminoles stadium proposal. This proposal involves a $26.45 million investment in repairs at Doak Campbell Stadium.

Honestly, the athletic director brought up a great point. After people graduate and move on from their respective universities, they might want to give back to their alma mater monetarily. However, not many donors want their names to be engraved on a metal plaque on urinals in a football stadium. It's much more rewarding to see their name on something more leisurely and inviting, like a park bench in the university quad.
