Just found out WOW
Jun 20, 2018, 8:48 PM
|
|
It's is now known that students are going to pay to come to games, that my friends is ridiculous. I have heard it over the last few years but it is going to happen. This place is becoming more and more like a business instead of a place to learn. I have watched over the last 30 years where a wonderful place to brag about is going down the drain. I love my tiger's, but soon fans, students,needed to stand up .

No, it's becoming more and more like every other school out there. Clemson was one of, if not the last, to charge students for tickets. If the students had quit whining about having to pay a whopping $250 for seasons tickets a few years ago, they'd have a specific seat every week for about $30/game. But the students had to be big babies about it.

When I was at Carolina, they did a lottery based on a points system. You got so many points for whatever year you were and then you’d get points for attending other sports events to give yourself higher chances of getting a ticket. I thought there is an athletics charge in cost of tuition and every student at every major university should have the opportunity to attend all home games for no more cost and enjoy the game. I agree that universities are selling out like big corps these days.

This is mostly by the schools that are in the TOP 25 year in and year out in one or two of the major sports. For Clemson over the past 8-9 years it has been FB. But I do agree 1000%%% that kids that attend a university full time, sporting events should be very low cost or free for at least the first 2000 students applying for the tickets. But it also should be checked that the students getting the low cost/free tickets are attending the games for the first full half. If they aren't, don't allow that student to apply again after missing two or more games bc the name of the game is the fans in the stands for what ever the sport!!! With the tuition cost of a major university, the students should have the chance to attend their school's sporting events for free or very LOW cost, and on the front lines of the events, and not in the nose bleed sections, Just adding my penny to the conversation, and what I believe IMO is right!!!

The problem that lies within at both schools is Greek life. The fraternities throw huge tailgates and they want all of the hot sorority girls there. It’s filled with kegs and handles of alcohol and at some point these students stop caring about the actual game and they just want to go back to the tailgates and party.

You know what I mean.... there are many different ways to talk about it:
USC South Carolina Carolina University of South Carolina S.C.
I could go on. My SEC counterparts and good friends I have met from moving all over and now residing in FL said that we ARE the real USC and we can own that claim because we were a state before Southern cal was even a thought. Also, when was the last time UNC was relevant in college football? Oh that’s right, I can’t remember either... moving along.

UNC: Year Conference Overall record Conference record 1895 SIAA 7-1-1 5-0 1922 SoCon 9–1 5–1 1946 SoCon 8–2–1 4–0–1 1949 SoCon 7–4 5–0 1963 ACC 9–2 5–1 1971 ACC 9–3 6–0 1972 ACC 11–1 6–0 1977 ACC 8–3–1 5–0–1 1980 ACC 11–1 7–0
SCU: Southern Conference Champions: 1 (1933) ACC Champions: 1 (1969)
It would appear UNC was last relevant in 1980 and SCU was last relevant in 1969.

Battle of the Carolinas The Battle of the Carolinas is a rivalry that began in 1903. North Carolina holds a 34–19–4 overall leads the series. While no longer a conference rivalry, since South Carolina left the ACC in 1971, the teams still meet occasionally. In the 2010s decade the series have been played on a Thursday. It was announced in September 2015 that UNC and USC will play every four years in 2019 and 2023. ~ ~Wikipedia

for your feathered brethren. The others are just making fun of you.
Here's a couple tidbits for you since you seem a bit confused: your school became the University of South Carolina in 1865. California became a state in 1850 (since you probably can't "math", that's 15 years prior to your school being named USC). Also noticed that you seem to think that SCar is a state...interesting.
Carolina certainly hasn't had a ton of great years in recent memory but they have many more conference championships, bowl wins, victories, NFL players, etc than SCar. All y'all have is a 5 year streak.
As you know, Carolina is in Chapel Hill. USC is in California. Clemson is THE University of SC.

Uhhhhh, I would have gladly shelled out a few bucks to see a competitive product take the field 6 times a year rather than the free tickets I got to see Tommy West’s hot garbage during my time at Clemson. Like anything in the world, if you want a luxury brand (which CU football is right now), you pay for it...

We had to pay back in 2003. Even the nerds that didn't want to go paid.
Maybe we're due for an expansion. Our average attendance is still around 77k?

That is to say. The athletic fee in your tuition was for the use of fike and intramural sports. ..had nothing to do with athletics.
If you were part time you could pay a fee to get tickets.

Texting during the first half of a game and then leaving for a party
Maybe learning where the parties are?

Like I said before,
All college kids these days care about is where is the party? They want to blast music, dance, drink, have a good time, and get as messed up as possible. If it doesn’t involve alcohol most don’t care. Most of them don’t stay for the entire game because they start to feel that they are losing their buzz, and staying the entire game sobers them up when they just want to go back to the tailgates and party and keep drinking.

Students are notorious for leaving games and wasting the seats. Easy come, easy go. If they have to buy their tickets the seats won't be wasted. I know this cuts into their party money but life is tough everywhere else.

The money is not that important. It is letting students that want to go to the games a guaranteed ticket. It will improve attendance. My nephew who loved Clemson football, rarely was able to get a ticket through the lottery, while seats went empty.

You need to watch the Radakovich presser. He said that free student tickets were a tradition at Clemson and he had no intention of changing that policy.

250-300 and have been for 15-20 years... The bigger schools all do this in some form or fashion. Maybe this will incentivize the students who actually like football to come b/c they have an investment to take care of instead of the willy-nilly crowd who show up for the 1st qtr and leave will fans are sitting at home wishing they could've gotten in but couldnt' without paying 250 bucks a ticket b/c there are little to none left. This will free up alot of room for people that want to go and stay to WATCH the game.
I does stink b/c its not free i know. I would've complained about it too but it would be no question that i'd pay the fee to get in for the year. Since you're paying for them now i wonder if they'll let you legally sell them? Probably not.

and left for a party.
I once got free tickets. Stayed the whole game and cheered my throat out. Literally. Times have changed. They expect free with them giving nothing in return. I know this is not true with all. Some the parents have actually done a good job.

The change to the lottery system sounds like a disaster. I'm glad I don't have to deal with that. When I was in school we would leave the game each Saturday and immediately set up a tent to camp out for tickets for the next game. We'd have a group that manned the tent for a week or two (depending on how long until the next game) and got front row seats every time. The people that wanted to be there were, and we didn't have to spend money we didn't have as broke college kids.
