Clemson will turn into a Furman athletically in a decades time.


Oct 29, 2019, 7:32 PM

This new pay players for their likeness will not end well for many Universities. Schools like Georgia Tech should be happy. Huge markets! And schools like Michigan with large alumni bases and boosters.

The better players will gravitate to where they can make the money. Enjoy these last very few years of Clemson football at this level.

Really? I tend to agree unfortunately. The larger cities with those boosters that own let’s say a car dealership are going to pony up the big bucks to land recruits for their “likeness”. Back door deals will be the norm. There will be more opportunities in the larger cities.

I guess we better pony up if we want the Tigers to be relevant.

Exactly, I’m worried about the recruiting pool of talent we currently have access to. Don’t care about 11,000+ players. I do care about the 100 that we’d like to come play at our University to be able to compete at the National level.

Under this model, eventually we will not be able to compete. Boosters will pay large sums to prop up major players likesness for players to come to their University. Then all the head coach has to sell to the top players is come to our school to make the most amount of money off your likeness.

Based on population alone, you’re wrong. You are thinking in terms of how the football landscape currently exists. Players WILL start going to schools with a bigger market and alumni base. That’s basic economics. The money will push the landscape. It will change. And Clemson doesn’t have the alumni base to compete. The talent will be diluted to the top few schools that can pay in ways from their fans and boosters. It will completely change the way recruiting is done.

There probably isn’t a team that will benefit more from this ruling than our own Clemson Tigers. The big time recruits can easily see who the teams are that are sending their good players to the next level. If a young player wants to display his talents where the most publicity will develop, Clemson is that place.

You’re working under several assumptions that are very big leaps:
1.) that everyone in whatever major TV market cares about CFB
2.) that a shoe company would give an 18 year old high school recruit a lucrative shoe deal
3.) that a majority of population in your large market will even know who an 18 year old recruit is
4.) that the market that big would have 1 predominant school and that their fan base would be organized enough to make a concerted effort to buy all of these shoes in the lead-up to a recruit making their college decision
5.) that a school like GT is even a major player in a city like Atlanta (which they are not)

Would Trevor sell more shoes in Clemson or in Columbus, Austin, Athens. Tuscaloosa, Los Angeles, Eugene, and dozens of other schools with well heeled alumni. And/or many times the alumni that Clemson has. Follow the $$$$$$$. The rich will get richer, the haves will have more.

Open your eyes and understand what people will do to have a winning athletic program. Do you think any business leaders will hire a 19 yr old 5* as his company's spokesman and take a tax credit for the business expense.

Call me chicken little if you want, but seriously, think the issue through to the logical end of what people are capable of doing, and what they WILL do to promote their school. Neither the NCAA nor the schools will be a lone to keep efforts wild west scheme under control.

All of those markets are small when stacked against larger Metro areas. I just don’t think it is going to happen. Everyone can’t go to USC or UCLA. There will be plenty of athletes for everyone.

OP, maybe you’re trying to say that the size of the fan base will result in an advantage for large fan bases, and there may be some truth to that, but GA Tech is a bad example, the population and tv market associated with their location will not drive jersey sales or result in any economic advantage. My advantage enjoyed via this new rule will be based on size of fan base, not population or TV market. Rutgers has population and tv market but both of their fans have all the jerseys they need.

Oct 29, 2019, 9:15 PM

this statement reminds me of one one of your own graduates said a few years ago, after the LSU win (I'm a CID grad, but raised a Clemson fan).

He said, "winning that championship in 81 was the worst thing that ever happened to Clemson football. it was a fluke then and ever since Clemson fans have wanted another. but it's not going to happen. the game has changed too much, Clemson will always be chasing after another championship that will never be obtained."

I cannot say the OP will prove to be as inaccurate as the Clemson grad I quoted has proven to be (but I expect this to be). I can, however, recognize the arrogance associated with these prophets of doom who, if things get really bad, can tell us all, "I told you so" with all the pride in the world, but who will just as quickly jump, shout and buy a new Clemson cap every year a conference or national championship is achieved.

bold and unsupported predictions of doom are really rather cowardly.

the cash. The percentages they get off sales will be miniscule. An interesting side issue will be the inevitable resentment. Who's gonna make more from licenses, the 5* qb or the 5* left tackle? However much they end up getting, there will be a massive disparity between the stars and bench warmers. Thus leading to more use of transfer portal. Also, why go to Michigan and be a backup for a year or 2 and make no money versus being a starter at another school?

Bottom line, sending players to the NFL will still be the standard in my opinion. You go to Michigan make some quick cash, but what if Rich Rod was the coach and you don't develop they way you should, thus losing millions?

I think this is a fascinating topic and frankly haven't totally made up my mind yet, but as of now, the possible negative outcomes seem to far outweigh the positives. BUT what about this thought? I do believe games are won or lost primarily by the majority on the team who would not benefit much by these "endorsemts"....always liked the saying "games are won in the trenches". Give me a dominant line of scrimmage and back 7, and good coaches could make decent "skill" players look good. Maybe this could backfire on the big alumni base boosters? If Dabo and co can make the pitch that our high profile positions won't benefit any more than you, Mr OT or Mr DB, maybe we could still benefit from a similar niche culture approach Dabo has proven to leverage against the big alumni bases to date.

college landscape will turn back into what it is supposed to be and there will be the "paid athlete" teams that play on a college campus and the real college athletic schools that play real college sports and they can play each other on a level fun atmosphere like it should be that form there own conferences and disassociate with the NCAA.

Just a thought.

It is end of college sports as we knew them. It is not a perfect system now, but this is now going away.

No way. Big cities are pro sports towns and they are not going to all of a sudden turn into college sports towns. The Matt Ryans are going to get way more attention that an athlete at Georgia Tech. You are talking about a few elite athletes on a few teams making money. There is a lot more that we don't know about this than we know. Let's wait and see.
