Louisville to be FSU's partner rather than Clemson?
May 9, 2012, 7:45 AM
|
|
Are you kidding me? I can't understand the reluctance that some have about going to the Big 12. If FSU goes and we stay behind, then we become a Big East school. PERIOD. Are people going to be happy with that? Oh, yes, at least we have an easier route to winning the ACC. Whoopee. We can then have a trophy, just like Southern Miss does in Conference USA; just like Georgia Southern does in the Southern Conference. But how will our program be perceived nationally? Answer: one of the taller midgets in the country. If FSU goes along with Louisville while we stay behind, I'm just going to throw my hands up in disgust and literally throw up.

And you could have Jesus in person recruiting for us, and maybe pick up a One or Two star player that no other D1 school wanted. Yeaaaa, lets stay in the ACC-least and be as a whisper. And if we do stay ACC, please take the coots off our schedule. I would hate for us to become be their practice dummies year in and out.

We are now winning with things set for us to keep winning. Dabo has put many hours into getting us back to the old ways of Clemson being a very good FB school again. If you or anyone can't see that, move the FK on.

We won the ACC last year but, failed to finish in the Top 20
May 9, 2012, 8:52 AM

We got our butts kicked by the 4th best team in the SEC. If FSU leaves, we should leave with them. If we don't, prepare to see a decline in clemson football that will be nightmarish. Scott Rymer can repeatedly say that winning the ACC is our new rival. But, he is WRONG!!!! If we were in a football conference, maybe. But we are not.

"If FSU leaves we should leave with them." Well, exactly how do you propose we do that if we're not invited. You people seem to constantly forget that this is a two way street. You have to be invited to another conference BEFORE YOU CAN LEAVE. If FSU leaves, they leave. And that's it. I don't think they're leaving. I KNOW Clemson ain't leaving.

Bottom line is, Swofford is perhaps the worst commissioner in college athletics. Period. If we don't leave now, we're completely screwed by staying in the ACC and any future bargaining power/leverage will be even further diminished by staying.

I'm not sure how we are an equal football attraction. But whatever. We should not stay behind while they go to the Big 12. Our football program will be handicapped.

there will be a meltdown here of epic proportions that will last for a long time. Unlike the FSU fans from what I've read, our fanbase is split about going to the Big 12. We need to get on board unless we want to become a minor player in college football.

a part of a conference with the likes of duke, wake, unc, uva, miami, syr, pitts, bc; these are student-athletes aren't they?
just asking; seems most are driven by some knee jerk, 'my love for clemson begins and ends with the football program', emotion.
there are lots of options.

Well I wish I had the details on how much the television deal would bring in. It would help our basketball programs so much and even our baseball program. The money from that could really help us with major needed upgrades to basketball faci;ities and also help us be even more competitive with assistant coach salaries in those other sports

I understand but I dont have the link but it was posted awhile back(maybe on TI) what the big 12 tv contract andd acc's tv contract was. It was a major difference. I hate to admit this but just loomk and see what the sec money has done for that school down the road. It really has had a major impact on all their sports and facility upgrades

sense that gawd gave you, doesn't mean my head is buried in the sand.
i asked a very specific question about your thought process, it amazes me how 'nervous' people get when they can't back up what they're selling.
you can't. you have no idea. south carolina doesn't have to move one inch or adapt their costs or management to make something happen, yet you want to compare the two scenarios?
you are pimping a move and have NO information as to the final, fiscal impact or the other soft costs involved in such an uprooting.
i don't have the answer either, but i'm not promoting the move one way or the other, just want people to take pause and THINK.
i know it's too much to ask around these parts at times.

They may want to extend their footprint in a direction other than SC.
This is about television sets and the Palmetto State has fewer than some mid-sized cities in other states.

HS coaches' love for ##### and the "SEC,' recruiting line. That's not to say we don't get some super guys from SC.
The FSU/Clemson recruiting in Fla is almost equal. Considering the recruiting only factor FSU is most likely preferred.
Considering the TV audience Fla is hands down a better market.
For economics and recruiting if I were the b12 commish I would take Miami and FSU over Clemson.

You even made my case better.
Clemson recruits well in Florida. Clemson would add nothing to the B12 recruiting that FSU could not add alone.
That leaves only the TV market. FSU would bring in the Florida market while Clemson would only bring the SC market.
That leaves us unequal. FSU is complaining about their revenues being smaller. Evidently, the economy is not the only blame here. Clemson is not in financial trouble. I am not a mind to believe we need any more money for better football. Truth is, if Clemson had another 20 million a year the money wouldn't be spent on football it would go to womens swimming and olympic basketweaving or some other bullchit.

Obviously the florida TV market is bigger. But Im not following your point...we dont attarct the big 12 because we offer no recruiting advantage? Yes we need the money...of course all that money wouldnt all be spent on football, It would help our other sports like mens basketball and baseball along with womens basketball get better. No way WV adds anything more than what we can to the big 12

"we dont attarct the big 12 because we offer no recruiting advantage?"
We are attractive to the B12 but not as a recruiting advantage. B12 will gain little from recruiting SC. Men's basketball contributes 40% of our athletic budget so I wouldn't expect any more money to go toward that program.
Wimmins should make sammiches while Clemson is on the field and future Clemson Tigers for halftime entertainment.
I don't like where we are and some of the changes that might be coming but before we become proactive on this issue we need try and take a better look before we leap.

I asked this question lastnight
since this discussion of the Big 12/Clemson,FSU, expansion is a what if game, what about this. Lets say Big 12 offers Clemson membership and Clemson declines. There is no SEC offers. Then the ACC can't get ND (or Penn State for those who wishes big) to join. Would most you feel like it was a mistake by sticking with the ACC or would you regret not taking the Big 12 offer? To throw a wrench in this...Swofford remains commish.

FSU, from what I read, has financial problems. They will straighten that out next year when they become aware that Bimbo has been running their program for almost a decade and fire his useless ###. I've been saying this for four years now. It wouldn't surprise me if the offer the B12 made was contingent on both Clemson and FSU as a package deal.
We won't go and FSU will survive where they are.
Swofford may survive this debacle but I still will not believe it would be a mistake standing by our administration's decision.
Clemson is mine. Not because Clemson belongs to me but because I belong to Clemson.
None of us know what is going on in the 'front office.' As far as I'm concerned the management has spent 30 years creating and maintaining a clean program while making Clemson one of the finest public academic instution in the country. We are moving toward the top (usually the right direction) in football and basketball.
Now T-Netters want to try and dictate major moves with nothing but speculation and supposition?

I just gave an opinion. I thought this was the point of message boards.
We got people on here from other schools who like nothing more than divide Clemson by selling bad ideas. You think that OU cares about Clemson? Their conference is falling apart at the seams. Every time a team leave the B12 UT takes a bigger chunk from OKU's butt.
Do they want Clemson to join? Certainly, but we ain't going. They want Clemson and FSU for a variety of reasons. Football, baseball, basketball and the ever sought after academic standing our schools bring. FSU might be poor enough to step in the septic tank for a few bucks but Clemson won't. Money is not the end all to our problem. I wish folks would wait until we have a team worthy of playing for a national championship before they reinvent the wheel to get us in the game.

I understand that concern b/c of what happened to the Big 12 in the last two years. Anytime a team leave, you can question what is going on with that conference. But I will disagree that it is falling apart at the seams. Last year I would have agreed with your statement b/c it was looking like OU and others were looking at leaving the Big 12. But all of the school came together and agreed to stay. They all showed that committment after things settled down a bit. Currently, I would say that the Big 12 is nowhere new as strong as other conferences but they are far awsy from folding. If they were folding, then they would have never hired a new commish, added two teams, and agreed to a huge tv deal with ESPN. Being an OU fan, I've talked to many other Sooner fans and a lot of them like the idea if the Big 12 could get FSU and Clemson. Now, this is some of the fans opinon and not the schools.
