Basketball lounge named in honor of the Grooms


Apr 30, 2019, 10:28 AM

Clemson University men’s basketball held its annual end-of-season banquet to celebrate the program’s 2018-19 senior class and season.

Toward the end of the ceremony, it was announced with a gift from Bill and Lynne Burton that the men’s basketball team lounge would officially be marked and named in honor of Paula and Franklin Grooms.

Bill burton used to be one of the owners of Fatz cafe. He sold off several years ago. He went to CU and played club rugby for us. He is every bit of 6’7” tall. A great guy and great businessman. Proud to know him.
