If College Football Programs Were Rappers, Who Would They Be?

Florida State Seminoles-T.I.

Both legends in their own fields, Florida State and T.I. are not only connected through the success they have had but through the controversy they draw with it.

No matter what happens with the Seminoles, people always feel like they are a dirty program, and having guys like Jameis Winston lead the team has never helped. But they portray themselves as a group of loving, classy young men.

T.I., meanwhile, is a pioneer in the Southern Rap industry by bringing the Trap Music sound to the forefront with his accent, flow, and content. But while he portrays himself as a gentleman to the public, his crazy, rough past always follows him around, shown by his tendency to get in trouble and pick up multiple prison sentences, which he has done ever since he has been famous.

Both tend to be successful amidst all the controversy, but they always seem to shoot themselves in the foot.

Florida State did it against Oregon this year, giving that game away, and T.I. has done it multiple times when all roads pointed to success but he had to hamper it with another legal issue.

These are reckless entities that have still brought in success.

And Florida State joins Florida and Miami in benefitting from the influx of Florida recruits while T.I. joins Ludacris and Lil Wayne in benefitting from the influx of national recognition going to the South.
