This is a good move. Say what you want about moving to the Big 12 and keep fantasizing about joining the $EC, but staying put is the right thing to do, IMO
A BCS conference is a BCS conference. We have just as good of a chance as making a BCS bowl where we are than if we were elsewhere.
Most importantly, I am proud to be a part of a conference with prestigious academic institutions such as Duke, UNC, Wake, Miami, GT, and Virginia. I value my Clemson degree and wouldn't want it to be tarnished by joining a conference with the likes of West Va and the rest of the Big 12, or USCjr and the rest of the $EC!

As soon as you provide the funds. I for one have no interest in fielding yet another (male or female) sport that is nothing more than a financial drain on the athletic department funds.

Genius, the BCS is no more after this upcoming football season. Given the overall quality of the ACC, the Orange Bowl is quickly going to become a second tier bowl.

Working half a world away, the only reason my employer had heard of Clemson was because he was familiar with Duke, UVA, and UNC.

Aside from Vanderbilt, there aren't any other schools in the SEC or Big 12 that have the same clout as Duke, UNC, UVA, or even GT. I'm not talking about rankings either. I'm talking about perception and the perception is that those schools are the elite.
