The offense is the thinking side of FB, and the defense is the reaction side of FB!!!

What should the alumni do who want Clemson to never pay for play?

I don't think all colleges are going to be forced into a semi-pro league. Some are obviously deciding to end their college football programs and trade them in for semi-pro. I happen to believe Clemson should not buy players on the open market and have it's own private football corporation.
I am fine with NIL money going to players so they can get paid. I am fine with all schools paying their players the same stipend. I am happy with the school offering support to help student-athletes navigate this. But I do not want Clemson going out and getting in bidding wars for players looking for the most money. I would rather Clemson be Div 1-aa than do that. I imagine there are others who would prefer this too. If I want NFL, I have the NFL.

You’re really okay with Clemson relegating a program of national prominence, that is pretty much the only athletic money maker, to a Div 1 aa program?
Because you don’t want to pay players like everyone else is doing in college football? This is not good vs evil like y’all want to portray it. Yes, it’s complicated, but ####. You have no idea the impact that would have on the program, the fans, the school.

We are a prominent college football program. We were never a semi-pro program.

The people who want to bid for players do not want Clemson to remain a prominent college football program. They want Clemson to choose to convert their college football program into a semi-pro corporation that has an awkward trademark relationship with the university.
They want Clemson to discontinue its student-athlete college football program because there are 50-60 schools who are choosing to change over to semi-pro. I don't equate continuing our college football program (instead of converting it over to semi-pro) as being left behind. I don't care if Clemson can't win the Super Bowl. I also wouldn't care if Clemson couldn't win the Less than Super Bowl, if some colleges leave college football.

Yes there absolutely is such a thing. If our players are contract employees

that is semi-professional. If there is an open market without a salary cap and with huge differences in money spent among schools then it's worse than the NFL. Semi-pro is being nice.
If you are paid a lot for your services then you are a professional. It's delusional to not acknowledge such an obvious fact.

not trying to be snarky but the die is cast; starting the season after this all schools are gonna be paying players as a result of the House settlement. If you can’t reconcile that with your beliefs about college football than you’ll just have to give it up.

If they are proven, they are probably not in the portal. I’m surprised how many people think you can spec out the player you need and just place an order in the portal.
Now maybe great players can be enticed into the portal (being facetious - no maybe), but I don’t think we want to play that game, nor should we.

Quality O lineman are the fewest of any position in football. I know we use nil to keep players and reward them but you see how our O lineman recruiting has gone even with Luke as a recruiter. We are going to have to jump start getting quality O lineman by using the Nil program upfront with this position.
