Florida State parts with AD Michael Alford; Warwick named interim

Florida State announced Monday that Michael Alford is no longer vice president and director of athletics, effective Sept. 14. President Richard McCullough appointed senior associate AD Bruce Warwick as interim while the school runs a national search. Board chair Peter Collins framed the move as the next phase of restructuring to compete in today’s college sports model. The leadership change lands with football coach Mike Norvell under intense scrutiny after recent losing seasons and a 1-1 start, including a Labor Day loss to SMU.
