I come to this group from time to time and see how y'all interact with other users so I'm not exactly expecting some intelligent discourse...but I want your honest opinion on why you think the SEC would "roll out the red carpet" for Clemson. From my viewpoint, one of two things have already happened. Either the SEC who's been ahead of the game has already tried to roll the red carpet out and Clemsons leadership was too stubborn to see the writing on the wall months ago...or the SEC hasn't shown interest in Clemson. This is the part where I don't expect logical, non homered responses but...what does clemson bring to the SEC outside of football that the SEC wants? The SEC already has the best product in football and baseball so we're not dying to bring in another great football program. Y'all don't offer a big time basketball program or baseball one at that. Y'all don't offer a new tv market, a huge national fanbase and to be honest who knows what will happen to your football program now that your coordinators are gone and Dabo refuses to change with the times in terms of NIL and transfers. So what would be the draw to bring Clemson into the SEC......and what would be the draw for Clemson to even want to be in the SEC? As one of your users said best.....do y'all really want to play that schedule. Just look at your records against the SEC.

most of those losses weren't in modern times and not under Dabo!
We'll be just fine.
44-16 vs best ever "to be 15 & 0" Alabama team.
Ha...thus the CLEMSON Tigers were 1st ever 15 & 0 college football team in modern history!!

Stiil, congrats for a needed Natty after 41 years while Tigers took 3 Natties.
And in 4 Natty games we were 2 of 3 vs big bad "carry the SEC water" Bama!

It's funny you say they carry the water. The sec has had 4 different programs win an NC this decade. What other conference has had even 2 different teams win the NC this decade?

You mentioned that the SEC has eyes in this state via the UofSC. Correct. They are in the 75th ranked media market in the US--stuck in the middle of the state. Clemson is in the Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville, NC/Anderson media market which is the 35th ranked media market in the US and reaches into both NC and SE Georgia.

FSU has fallen so far I've forgotten about them. Congrats though, they barely made the cut. I was wrong. That's still 2 teams compared to 4. If any team is carrying a conference it's Clemson carrying the ACC. Kudos to y'all.

you’ll realize we don’t want congratulations for anything FSU or any other ACC school does.
Clemson is about Clemson, not conference pumping.
You will argue, and rightly so, that for this very reason Clemson stands outside looking in on a dangerous financial precipice, but that is Clemson’s burden to bear right now.
Conference pumping is quintessentially cootish.

There's a difference between pulling for a conference like Carolina does so they can brag knowing they couldn't do what the other conference teams have, and acknowledging you're in the best conference. I pulled for y'all against bama, I pulled for every team UT baseball played this year. I hate every team in my conference but I acknowledge collectively we have the best brand.....which turns into the best tv deals....which turns into giving Georgia more money to upgrade and be the best version of itself.

What happens after you acknowledge the SEC is the best conference?
Jul 3, 2022, 5:55 PM

I’ll answer the question - you play football. Clemson has generally done it better than UGA for a number of years now. Does that warrant acknowledgement as well?

So you are saying Bama does not carry the water for that conference. LSU had all world talent one year and now Georgia had all world talent last year and won 1, and if Bama’s best player had not been on the sidelines not sure Ga. wins that game. Hell y’all were lucky to get past the most anemic offense we have had in years.

I wasn't even aware that they were claiming the 1942 championship since Ohio State finished #1 in the final AP poll. Had to do some googling on that one.

There are 2 elite teams in the SEC and adding clemson would be a third lol. That’s what clemson has to offer. Maybe I’ll include a and m as an elite team If they can win the west.

Couple thought…not that I care if we join the SEC
Jul 3, 2022, 4:04 PM

but historical records? Do you think Clemson is afraid to play Ole Miss? Miss St? Vandy? Kentucky? Tennessee?
Let me stop there. Are afraid of anyone in that league? Is there anyone in that league that has shown the consistent level of excellence that Clemson has, aside from Bama? Is there anyone in the League that has competed with Bama more impressively than Clemson? How many of those schools are out recruiting Clemson? No one with a Tiger Paw on is afraid of the SEC schedule.

Second, stop talking about basketball and baseball. You sound ridiculous. No one added Texas and Oklahoma for basketball or baseball. No one is adding USC and UCLA because of basketball or baseball. No one cares.
Third, we shall see if we end up in one of these megaconferences but there comes a point where it’s no longer about individual tv markets and it’s all about overall brand. And our brand is fantastic. But…like I said…we shall see where this all lands.

Clemson needs to do there due diligence but doesn’t need to beg. Why wouldn’t the SEC roll out the red carpet for Clemson. They’re head and shoulders ahead of at least 3/4 of the schools in the SEC when it comes to an institution as a whole. In football alone they’d bring more to the conference except for Bama and UGA and those two are ahead due to production (Bama) and larger fan base UGA. Clemson doesn’t need the SEC but the SEC could really use Clemson compared to schools still available to add.

In 2022 academic ranking of USA universities (https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities)Clemson occupies #75 place which is a decent, mid level position. Lower that most fellow ACC members and higher than most SEC schools (Uga is 48, UTexas is 38).
BUT when looked at in comparison to current BiG members that 75 is way,way low.
The new invitees of USC #25 and UCLA #20 show the importance the BiG university Presidents place on academic excellence.
History shows us an invite to Clemson would be a true outlier.

Clemson would become a top 4 SEC school academically. The Clemson-UGA game rating of 8.9 million was the 2nd highest SEC regular season rating (4th overall) next to Bama-Auburn and larger than any of UGA's other games. Football wise and academically, Clemson brings additional pedigree to the SEC no matter how you wish to slice it.

These are the kinda replies I want. I'm all for the UGA/Clemson rivalry being renewed yearly. Love the game, love seeing the hate our fanbases have for each other. I always get a laugh reading posts about Georgia in here. That game would move the needle....but say 5 years down the road when the newness of Clemson in the SEC wore off. What games would move the needle outside of that one and Clemson/Carolina?

The recent Clemson/Alabama games have been some of the best games in the last 7-8 years. After the national championship in Tampa even Reese Davis said “forget the playoffs, let’s just have Clemson and Bama play every year.” So I would think Clemson/Bama moves the needle for most folks that are not dog homers.

My take is Clemson-UGA history in modern era had nationwide interest with Herschel, Erk, Junkyard Dogs, great kickers, and great teams in the early 80's. We know Saban is in the sunset of his career at Bama - and between Bear, Stallings and Saban, Bama has not been much. Dabo and Kirby rivalry (and they are young) not to mention the mostly good-natured fan hate and top public school academia has the makings of a good backyard SEC rivalry with nationwide implications.

Footprint used to be the buzzword for a team's value to a conference. In today's world, it's brand recognition and power which Clemson has plenty of. The orange helmet with the tiger paw is recognized world wide.

And whether you like it or not, Clemson is one of the elite programs of modern day/playoff era college football. And as mentioned in another thread in this post, Clemson is a better program than MOST of the SEC during that time.

Hey doggie dog. Jawjaw has a 16-10 record vs the SEC west. 8-2 vs Auburn since divisions so that's just an 8-8 record against the rest of the West. That means your success has been against a very bad SEC weak east division. So what does Clemson bring? We would be an instant top 3 team in the SEC with rabid fans and tv ratings jawjaw wished they had.

You talk about a bad SEC east while you play in the acc, a little ironic huh. Also, you know tv ratings are verifiable, right? You can look up which games/ programs bring in the most viewers......so if it's an actual fact Georgia brings in more viewers than clemson, then why would we wish to have Clemsons viewership? Seems odd to me

We've always heard of an alliance between UF, South Carolina, and Georgia (maybe Kentucky too) that would vote together to block SEC entrance to any of those school's respective in-state rival.
Is that still in effect? A similar position did not help Texas A&M when the longhorns were invited. I would be surprised to hear the SEC has rolled out a red carpet for Clemson.
I'm not sure how much local TV markets will continue to matter. If Clemson, FSU and Miami are available to add any conference should be able to get more money from a TV contract with them included.
I hope Clemson goes to the SEC since it would be easier to visit road games closer to home. The B1G and its money would be better for Clemson than staying in the ACC.

I've always heard there were some teams who had a pact to keep certain teams out but I've never seen proof and from my standpoint I don't see why Georgia would want to keep Clemson out. Richt and Smart both wanted to renew the rivalry with Clemson. Not sure why Georgia would be scared of GT joining the SEC either. I can't speak for other programs but it wouldn't make that much sense to try and keep instate schools out.....outside of GT since they bring nothing to the table, outside of academics lol.

No, SEC charter says approval of invitation must come from 75% of current members, so it will take 12 of 16 to issue invite. No single member has a veto.
If an invite is to be extended to Clemson the vote might include 1 or 2 negatives based on geography and pure politics, but rest assured if Sankey even asks for a vote he will have his 12 based 100% on $$$$ being greater.
I think it happens with Clemson early year pay outs being somewhat reduced to cover SEC paying the GoR cancellation costs.
Disney/ESPN can help make end result economics attractive to all parties, especially their own. They now know college football is a two company contest, ESPN and the coast-to-coast BiG versus ESPN with expanded SEC.

Clemson has a 70% win percentage against the SEC in the last decade. Not to mention 2 nattys. You should do your homework before spewing garbage here. We would be fine in the eSECpn.

There's a difference between playing one off games against a conference and an entire schedule against a conference. I know here in tigernet y'all believe in recruiting bumps for the SEC, NFL scouts being in on the conspiracy and drafting SEC players higher than they should be. The entire media being in on propping up the sec...but the simple fact is, we are the best conference with the best collective group of players. You can get away with not bringing your A game against 90% of your games in the ACC. Do that in the SEC and you miss the playoffs. You're playing 2-3 national championship level teams in the regular season and one in the conference champ every year just to make the playoffs. No more playing 0 ranked teams until the playoffs like you do in the ACC.

Who did GA play last year that was national championship level during the regular season??? The best team y’all played in the regular season was Clemson and we weren’t at that level last year.

Barkley, you can't be very intelligent yourself because neither Dabo nor Smart or any other coach has anything to do with NIL. There are still 5 months before signing day and we are ahead of you in recruiting so Dabo must be doing something right whether it be NIL or not.

If you think universities and the HCs arent involved in NIL you're kidding yourself. Also, Georgia literally does this every year in recruiting...same as bama. Bama was like 80th in the country at this point last year and then we all start landing players late in the cycle. I'm fairly confident we'll be just fine in recruiting, no matter what the rankings in July are lol.

I’ll throw you a bone. Your pulse has nothing to do with whether you bleed orange or not. Once you’ve hit sub-50, you’re considered a significant doosche. Congerts.

Yes, look at Clemson’s record vs the SEC over the last 10 years. I’m pretty sure we are 3-0 vs Auburn, 2-0 vs TAMU, 2-2 vs Bama, maybe 1-1 vs LSU, and 1-2 vs GA. And still dominating SC at 7-2. I may be off a game or so but that’s 16-7 or something very close to it and more than half of the wins against teams not named SC. Not to mention 3-1 vs Ohio St and 3-1 vs Notre Dame during that time as well. Clemson isn’t worried about being able to compete in the SEC and have proved that over the last 10 years.

Any objective opinion must recognize the value that Clemson will bring to any football conference they might join. Sold!
But? Does their addition bring more $$$$$ from any huge new media contract being split among a larger SEC at 16, 18, or 20 members? At evaluating 16, following Texas and Oklahoma, the much larger pie justified the 2 additional teams.
You can be certain that Greg Sankey and the Walt Disney Company are modeling this issue in ways that us laymen could not imagine.
In their ultimate analysis all the "soft" values, brand, academics, alumni base, etc. etc. will have import but the conclusion, thus decision on more members and which ones will be a 10+ year forecast of derived revenue per member, with the extra payouts due additional members a major factor.
The league took in UTex which admittedly has not recently had the on field success of Clemson but, and its a huge but, the brand, exposure and reputational benefit by adding Texas would be much higher that Clemson's, Even A&M at the end recognized adding their in-state blood rival would mean more money and they voted yes.
Will the current 14 reach a similar conclusion on a Clemson invite?
Understand Sankey is no Swofford and whatever his decision it will first and foremost be based not on locking in members forever, but adding additional income immediately.

So what used to be channel restricted, well now that restriction is gone. Game interest will drive who will get streamed. And guess what, the home team will lime up and pay the commentators too in order to create more open access to more games. The commentators and production quality may suffer a little, but the viewers will vote with their eyes now!

You want to join the BIG because you have to play OSU then walk through the rest of the schedule. It'll almost be like you never left the ACC outside of the longer travel times.

Cat I was scrolling through your posts for awhile enjoying your arrogance but this one above is a showstopper. You do NOT have much better teams to play than what’s in the Big 10. As usual there are several very good ones at the top then it falls off in both conferences. The ones below sometimes have decent seasons but aren’t consistently good year in and year out.

You made some good points about the economics of the thing but we bring more to the table than roughly half your league so what do you need them for? I'd turn the question around and ask why not? You're probably right in suggesting it would have been done by now though. Clemson would not have signed that grant of rights if they thought it was in their future.

You beat us with a pick 6. If you would have lost to us then you would have not had a shot a National title. You realize we finally had a down year and only had 10 wins and awful QB play and a decimated roster. Just saying you owe us for you getting a shot at winning the title after 4 decades. If the SEC least ever gets better than an Atlantic Sun football team then you will be in trouble.

You realize on any given year outside of last year, the east has 3 if not more top 15 teams in it. That's more than the entire acc any given year. I'm sure you'll reply with eSECpn ranking bumps or whatever other conspiracy theory you want to throw out. Simple fact is we beat you down multiple starters that game. Wasn't your entire fanbase saying you wouldn't miss a beat from Lawrence with DJU? He looked great in the 2 games he played in the year before. So either two things happened. Clemson failed to continue to develop him, or he played one of the best defenses in CFB history his first game as the actual starter and never recovered from that humbling experience.
