So our Tigers are up to 3 invitations

For better dinners. From Michael Strahan, Quaye the rapper and now from Nick Kokonas, who helps run "Alinea" in Chicago which is one of the few 5 star Michelin restaurants in the world.
Can Clemson actually accept any of these? Or would it be an NCAA violation?

Interesting question. It wasnt for the WH but I guess for private folks it could be. Strahans was interesting. LObster used to be regarded as poor peoples food years ago and not like it is perceived today. I had never heard this till a few years ago

The best Lobster I've ever eaten, was when I lived in Hawaii, and my best friend, a local Hawaiian would take me reef diving on the North shore at night looking for the Hawaiian lobster. We had to use what they called a Hawaiian sling which was a 3 prong spear with a rubber like tubing that propels the spear, and the main reason for using a the spear was bc, the holes that you will most likely find the lobster, there will be a big A$S Moray eel laying ready to attack anything that goes in the hole where the lobsters hide at. The lobster is easy to find with a bright diving flash light bc their eyes will be dark blue, bingo, guaranteed lobster with his pal the Moray eel waiting. So we would shoot them with the Hawaiian sling and be ready to hall A$S if the Moray comes out the hole, and they will if they feel threaten by you
But anyway, the only meat you get is in the their tail bc they don't have claws, they have thorns all over the main body part of them for protection from most but not all. They are called the spiney lobster, but they are the best tasting lobster that I have ever had, and the meat isn't as firm as the cold water lobster. We would mix the sea water about 50/50 mix with fresh water. After you have eaten a Hawaiian lobster, the cold water lobster just won't taste that good to you anymore bc Hawaiian lobster are a much better tasting lobster, and the meat is softer and it feels better in your mouth, or it did to me.
Most lobster holes in the reef are about 25-30 Ft down, but with those huge fins they use for lobster diving, it don't take but a few seconds to get down to where the lobster will be found. The lobster is well worth the practice it takes of holding your breath long enough to go down and searching for a few hole to get a lobster. When we would go, we would try and get a dozen lobster for the pot we would have for heating/boiling the water with wood or charcoals in a lava rock hole. My best friend and a couple other friends and our wives would spend the night on the North Shore hunting for lobster, drinking, and eating lobster and raw tuna. Some of the best memories of my life was spent on the North Shore with friends eating, drinking, and just having a great time Hawaiian style!!! If I would have been well off financially, I would have moved back to Hawaii years ago!!! It's cheap living there when you live in base housing and shopping in the Military commissaries and the PX-es!!!

We could make an awesome anti-trump political statement

like all the cool kids are doing!
Football should be more political and less about family, team, commitment, hard work etc

to fall for it. These idiots want to use our team to make a useless little political statement. I hope we stay away from this crap.
Dining at the Paw Bistro is pretty darn good.

If not a violation, hope they accept every one. Would be amazing for recruiting.

If I'm not mistaken, it is only a NCAA violation if those providing the food are boosters and/or they make money off of the players involvement.
I'm not familiar with the other two, but if the players were to go on GMA with Michael Strahan for his invitation, I believe that GMA and ABC would be profiting thereby making it a violation.
