Clemson Guilty of Unfair Football Recruiting

tactics. Clemson has been accused by many of using unfair football recruiting tactics. After an in-depth review if these charges, I have come to the conclusion our beloved Tigers are, indeed, guilty as charged. Let me cite a few of these tactics and I believe any die-hard Tiger fan will agree with my assessment. Let me cite just a few of these tactics for your consideration. I am listing only a few and I know there are others who can add to this list of guilty tactics.
First, Clemson readily admits to being discriminatory in the recruiting process. We do not offer every warm body. We are highly selective and extend an offer only to those who meet the high standards mandated by our coaching staff.
When a prospect and his family accept an invitation to visit Clemson, the first thing they see is a quaint and friendly special college town. There is beautiful Lake Hartwell luring boaters, bathers, fishers and picnickers. Glancing Northward, one can see the tree covered mountains nestled in the upper reaches of Pickens and Oconee Counties. Only a few universities can claim what Clemson has to offer.
And, on the campus, beautiful buildings set in the midst of huge trees providing shade for those seeking a restful moment. The sound of a bell signaling the hour causes one to focus on Tillman Hall and the clock located in the tower. They pass the Calhoun Mansion, the huge cedars and see happy students walking briskly to their next class. Gazing down the hill, they have their first view of Memorial Stadium, home of the current national champion. And as they get closer, they spy the famous Rock and as their eyes gaze at the WEZ, the Oculus. On to the other athletic facilities, including the indoor practice facility, the Allen Reaves Complex and, of course, the world famous slide. All of this and it is second to none. Again, we are forced to plead guilty.
Just the facts. Two national championships within the past three years. A 15 - 0 season, the first by any team since 1897. Enough ACC championships and bowl victories to fill a huge trophy room. A 55 - 4 record over the past four years and numerouds awards garnered by players and coaches over the years attesting to their excellence. Again, we plead guilty and reminding our accusers if it's true, it ain't bragging.
Student/Athletes. Yes, it is true and is never more evident than what one sees at Clemson. The proof is in the pudding. A graduation rate among the top for all D1 schools. Numerous athletes who enter and excel in the pros and others who excel in the business world. A place where young men develop and become our leadrers of the future. Isn't if amazing how happy we can be when we are saddled with all of this guilt.
This is just the tip of the iceberg but it does provide enough evidence to prove Clemson is guilty of using unfair football recruiting tactics to entice the best and brightest prospects to choose to be a Clemson Tiger.

We also have the tenancy to send guys to the NFL early just to make room for more great players. It's gotta be against the rules.

Some of those attribute might be dampened by strict rules and harsh repercussions for breaking one of them. Mitch Hyatt was a few minutes late for a team meeting and didn't start the next game. Now he's been a starter for every game during his four years here except that one. Deon Cain was not allowed to play in the playoff over breaking team rules.
That might be negated by the fact that parents much attracted to a program which serves as an extension of attention, love and concern they've shown their sons throughout his life. No, that's probably more evidence that we cheat when we recruit.
