TDP Interview questions

|
|
I just confirmed that our 1:30 meeeting is still on, but we don't have a lot of time. I obviously have a list of questions, but want your input as well. Fire away with questions you think should be asked.

I think I know what his answer will be, but it's a good way to open up for the other questions.

Bet you won't get a straight answer on that one but it has to be asked. Actually I don't think he'll say much of anything of substance.

Can Clemson compete against South Carolina in all sports when it already has a $20 million a year revenues gap that seemingly will only grow after the new SEC Contract and SEC Network.

there is NO WAY to compete against the chicken boys in all sports with a $20 mil revenue gap that is going to get bigger than that every year.

What, if any, positive remarks do you have about the ACC coming out of last weeks meetings?
Was anything done during those meetings to enhance the commitment to football by other conference members? Including a change (even if temporary) in the revenue sharing model we currently utilize.
Out of all the member schools in the ACC, how many are in support of new leadership in the office of the ACC? Are we one of them? Why not?
What is your opinion of the Big12/SEC agreement last week? And do you view it the same way many of the fans do, in that it marginalizes the ACC as a football conference?
What type of urgency do you see us having in terms of proactively addressing the Big12 expansion, and potential ACC demise?

May 21, 2012, 10:37 AM
|

During the Bowden era, you made it clear when there was a large buyout amount in the contract that there were funds available to cover any buyout of any Clemson coach. Now that the ACC has increased the buyout for leaving the conference to $20 Million, does Clemson have a source of these funds IF it ever became necessary?

Do you believe the ACC can compete nationally in football
May 21, 2012, 10:41 AM
|
|
given the recent Big12/SEC development as well as the TV contracts signed by these conferences?
Will this set Clemson back by being affiliated with a conference who will guaruntee 5-10 million a year less than many of our rival schools?

How can the Big 12 & SEC make an agreement like they di without the NCAA's approval? And is it possible that the NCAA would allow a playoff such as this with just 4 conferences involved cutting out so many important schools?

Interview tomorrow with TDP: My questions:
Posted: May 21, 2012 12:54 AM
Reply
First of all, I know that David Hood will come up with better questions than I will. He is one of the better Clemson beat writers that doesn't just print the press release. I am looking forward to reading the article.
For what it is worth, this is my list of questions for TDP:
1. Do you have knowledge of anyone representing Clemson (3rd party or otherwise) discussing membership with the Big 12?
2. If the ACC loses FSU to another conference, will Clemson consider other options as well?
3. What order would you rank the ACC, SEC, and Big 12 with regards to compatibility with the athletic goals of Clemson University?
4. Do you believe that the ACC broadcast deal was a good deal for Clemson compared to the deals that the SEC, B1G 10, and Pac 12 will have?
5. Hypothetically, if Clemson were in the Big 12 what kind of revenue would you expect from Clemson's 3rd tier rights?
6. Is Clemson or anyone acting on Clemson's behalf negotiating Binding TV rights with any conference?
7. Clemson fans are concerned that with the big 12/SEC championship bowl and the proposed 4 team BCS playoff, that the ACC could become less relevant in terms of football. Do you share these concerns?
