If you look back to the Penn Quakers in 1938-1942 you will see:
Had one of the largest stadium’s in America Drew 1,780,000 fans in four years Outside of 38-42 and including they won parts of 7 national championships They played all of the big programs of that day; Army, Navy, Notre Dame, Virginia and others They played in the Rose Bowl
They were one of the premier teams of their day, but did not keep up with the rest of college football. Now most people couldn’t name their stadium, know who their coach is or what their record was last year. Clemson cannot afford to be behind the SEC and BIG by 30-35 million a year even for just 3-4 years. That is why it is crucial they breakaway now and plan to join one of those conferences by 2025/2026.
