Well I expected something good in this post and it was one with thought but not what I expected. Collage football and Clemson is no longer in control of its destiny. It is not about winning or conferences, or who you play or even if you win. Its about MONEY $$$$. Money ala TV is destroying all that is good and great about college sports. It will reduce people from going to games, it will eliminate rivalries, it will leave us where they want us in front of a boob tube until maybe the playoff games that only a percentage will be able to afford to attend. As it has severed Texas vs Texas A&M. It has caused the SC State legislature to not vote for a mandatory Clemson vs USC game. It is NOT what is in the best interest of Clemson and they know it but can not afford to stand on what is really good for Clemson because as you say it is about not falling behind. If you study revenue Clemson will remain outside of the top 15 schools even by moving. It will remain a want to be top 15 program and secure itself in the middle of a pack being a good size fish in a large pond vs a large fish in a small pond. To avoid a complete collapse of what is good in college sports Clemson should move to the SEC where we at least do not have an entirely new geography to contend with and play teams we have a history with like South Carolina, Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee.

WE DID NOT, DO NOT, AND WILL NOT HAVE AN INVITATION TO JOIN THE SEC!!!!!!!!
Geez it's not like we can just set up camp wherever we please. Sure sounds like that's what you're thinking.
