Florida State has partnered with industry-leading equipment provider STX, LLC as the Seminoles’ preferred equipment supplier, it was announced Friday.

“I am incredibly excited for this partnership with STX,” Florida State head coach Sara Tisdale said. “STX is a leader in the lacrosse space, and having this opportunity as we begin our program is another example of the power of the Florida State brand. Equipping our team with STX equipment and Nike apparel will benefit our student-athletes on the field, and with the construction of our lacrosse-only stadium we are continuing to establish FSU as a premier destination for student-athletes looking for a top-tier academic and athletic experience.”

I have been saying this since the first day the settlement terms were announced. If it was illegal to collude to control pricing before and they are paying damages for it, how can they agree to collude to control pricing after?

Chuck Kennon has been on Florida State's campus a number of times during the fall. Very good-looking prospect.
