I am absolutely loving their tarnished academic and athletic reputation! However, I am doing my best to temper my enjoyment until I see what consequences both the NCAA and the ACC impose on those cheating bastages! I'm not holding my breath that they will get the punishment that they deserve!
"Gamecocks aren’t ready to take college football by storm just yet. They’re not even ready to compete in their own state – Clemson will still own the territory. Gamecocks fans would be smart to keep their heads buried until that time. Avoid talking trash to a much better Clemson program.” -Dustin Tackett
It certainly does taste sweet to see their name tarnished.
I hope they get an appropriate penalty, but even if they don't, they will never get their reputation back. Never again will they be able to claim they are superior without someone calling them a fraud.
I know plenty of UNC people and this stings them. They are horrified bc that academic facade defined them even more than basketball. This is so much better than if they had paid recruits. That type of scandal they could have blamed on a rouge coach or booster. But this situation they have now cuts much deeper.
