Presidential candidate Marco Rubio recently took a shot at Florida State University when he said that it's the "school that is for students who can't get into Florida" in a recent radio interview with a station in Iowa. Rubio is a graduate of both the University of Florida and the University of Miami Florida State's school president, John Thrasher gave a response to Rubio's comments on Tuesday. Thrasher previously served in Rubio's legislature.
"He's a nice kid," said Thrasher via the Tallahassee Democrat. "I'm sure he's frustrated by his low standing in the polls, which I believe could be a reflection of where he got his education."
In the radio interview, Rubio discussed the intensity of the rivalry between Florida State and Florida. You can listen to the full segment here.
