That’s your argument against the SEC soccer?

Jul 11, 2022, 4:13 PM [ in reply to Re: Not buying it. ]

Boy you’re desperate. That is a desperation argument.

Soccer is important on this forum. A lot of Clemson graduates like soccer. But I guarantee you 90% of the Fanbase couldn’t care less.

How many people can fit in our soccer stadium? How does that compare to death Valley? That answers your question right there.

How much money does soccer generate for the athletic department?

And all that really matters let’s be honest is winning championships. We’ll make it to the NCAA tournament easier in the SEC.

It’s like the basketball argument. The SEC sucks in basketball. So the theory goes. Didn’t stop Florida from winning a couple of national championships. That didn’t stop Arkansas from winning some national championships. Doesn’t keep Kentucky from being one of the biggest most important basketball programs.

Number one sport at Clemson bigger than everything else combined as football. The SEC is the best conference in football and has been for a long time.

Look at the culture of our fans of our school everything about Clemson. SEC!

What’s our next most important sport? Baseball. SEC best baseball conference.

Golf is pretty important in Clemson Whitney say? They’re probably the best in golf right now.

We added gymnastics recently. SEC is best in gymnastics now. Not the West Coast schools.

Play track and Field is pretty important of it Clemson wouldn’t you? SEC is best in track and field.

We just spent millions to start a softball program. The SEC is best in softball.

The only two things the SEC is better at then where we are right now his soccer and lacrosse. And 90 something percent of the fans couldn’t care about either one of them. And that is about the dumbest reason in the world to not join the SEC when we’re a perfect fit. A perfect fit and all the things that matter! We are a natural SEC program. We should’ve joined the SEC years ago. It should’ve been Clemson rather than South Carolina.

ND has to resolve its agreements with the ACC on a couple fronts. For the GoR they would have to pay an exit compensation and lose their media rights revenue for their non football sports to 2036. I don’t think that would break open the GoR for all members to flee. Instead, it would be ND abiding by the terms of the contract. That amount of penalty maybe isn’t a deal breaker to join another conference. Second is the agreement to join the ACC in football if they want to bring that sport into a conference. I believe that also goes out into the 2030’s. I think that would be another payoff to end that agreement. So it’s complicated for ND because they likely would want to join another conference with all their sports if football goes into a conference. Meanwhile, comments from Swarbrick this past week says they will stay independent unless they are in jeopardy of losing access to the playoffs, plus other preferred scheduling conditions. Thus, I don’t see ND doing anything until the dust settles in a few years and they determine what kind of media deal they can get for football as an independent when the NBC deal expires in 2025.
