I have been hearing this more and more.

Don’t pay it much attention. The Big Ten guy (self proclaimed realignment expert) seems to think he’s making everything happen. He talks about important people following him on X and how they listen to him. Lol. His “presentation”was weak and read like a proposal HE was pitching as to why FSU to B10 should happen.

The Roll Tide SEC guy has no connections. It’s clear he has bought into the old theory of SEC adding NC and VA markets and it’s something he WANTS to happen. Plus he is anti Clemson. I wonder why? Lol

I listened to the podcast last night for the first time ever. I’m always looking for legit information on realignment, especially as it concerns Clemson. It was a complete waste of time.

Re: Sounds Like Clemson is Stuck...

For just a second lets say everybody wanting to break away from the NCAA, I'm sure Clemson would be fine with that bc the NCAA has been taking short cuts using a bumpy, dusty, dirt road. Ok, now lets just say there is several school wanting to get out of the ACC and Clemson being one of those schools.

What is going to suck for Clemson is Clemson is in a state that doesn't have a big market value and the SEC has what little we do have covered with USUC, and we could very easily end up on the outside looking in bc the SEC don't want us bc they already have the SC market. And I don't think that Clemson wants the Big bc of the travel with scheduling.

But since I've been a Clemson fan, Clemson has been a FB first school, and Clemson has shelled out a ton of money to in facilities and whatever it takes so that Clemson can compete with anybody in recruiting that has made us 2nd to none in the ACC and college FB in general and that could really suck for Clemson if we're left out of the power 2.

What sucks just as much, is that all the other ACC schools that screaming they want to be a part of the big more, when Clemson and maybe a couple of other ACC schools have tried to be competitive in FB. If everybody that wants to be in the big move would have been spending what Clemson has spent to make sure we were competitive, we wouldn't be having these talks bc the ACC would have been just as powerful in FB as any conference in FB, but they chose not to be one of the ACC's power FB schools, and now the SEC and the Big don't want play against the weak ACC teams, and Clemson is stuck without a value for the Power 2, and they will leave us out at the snap of a finger...
