If Clemson announces this I’ll officially be out of going to the games will be happy to watch from home. It’s not up to the fans to pay the players.

You could be 100% correct. Wasn't it said a few years ago that the TV had gotten so big that the fans in the stands with ticket sales couldn't come close to matching the money that commercial slots made with just commercial slots that are sold for even the scrub games made with selling commercials slots. If true, stadium's will soon be built with only a very few places to sit, just enough for players families...

It would. I have always said the only way this gets better is with a collective bargaining agreement. It puts equal power in both sides and allows them to negotiate to the middle. I feel like that will be hard to do until we get to a one league model (the 50-60 teams everyone is talking about).

That is your right. But people need to decide whether they want to get back the the elite level we spent so long at, or stay at the 2023 level. Do you want to win, or do you want to brag about the grades of football players you don’t even know, or what else, shake your finger at UGA for their off the field issues after they boat race us?

People I know want to win. Tigernet doesn’t represent what I hear out in the real world from Clemson fans.

That should be a violation of NCAA rules right from the start bc that is the same as a booster or a fan tapering with players the very same that it's always been. Before we couldn't even offer to by a recruit a hamburger. What 10 A C is suggesting is no different IMO!!!

Further more the NIL I thought was for name, likeness and image that companies can offer them money to use them as a face of their products, and by a tariff added to tickets is nothing like the rule of giving players money for their N I L...

Yeah I haven't been to a clemson game in years anyway so they wont miss my measly little 2 ticket purchase, however for those here that do regularly go to games i certainly don't blame you if Clemson were to ever do something similar to TN with a "talent fee"



So the fans should pay for talent? and not the tennessee coach's? the coach of TN makes 8 million year, the assistants make alot also, but they (TN) are gonna hit up hard working people, many who have kids, so that some kid can be lured to your university for 3 years by giving him a 200K car and money on top of it? No.....stop with the poor kid who wants his dream routine....who cares we all want our dream. they can earn it like anyone else if they want it by making it to the NFL or earning a free education diploma to get a real job. Save your money for your own kid, or even yourself it will be better spent than going to some 18 year old buying a rolls royce and getting 4 speeding tickets cause he thinks hes a celeb........literally making the community and public unsafe with these handout programs as seen in Athens.
