Then why does Clemson keep kicking that arse?


What do you mean why then? Are you actually disputing the fact that SC is the larger school and has more alum?

And UCF, on the whole, doesn't give a shite about its sports teams. Especially relative to UF and FSU.

Sorry, despite its wins and losses both SC and Clemson care dearly about athletics, especially football. And as the team with more students, alum, and merch sales, we just make more money than Clemson does.

Why do you think Forbes always puts us at a higher value than Clemson every year?

I know, poor Clemson. All those wins and still no body loves them.

Football (the big money maker), is not even close between the two schools

Clemson Football is bringing in a shite ton of money right now

Just opened up a 50 million dollar football ops facility, SC is trying to copy and had to low ball an amount for their own which won't open for a few years

Sorry, brah. Twist it how you want to. Clemson just doesn't make as much money as we do.

Clemson will drop off the face of the earth for a couple years after losing deshaun Watson.

I'd trade Mizzou for anybody. Maybe even Tulane. SJW U embarrassing us on and off the field.

Not sure why this is so hard fro some fans of various SEC schools to understand: expansion will only take place in order to expand the SEC TV market. There is no economic reason whatsoever to add a school from the existing footprint.

I have always thought having FSU would be great from a football rivalry standpoint, but there is no economic reason to add them based on TV coverage, and that is what drives expansion.

Just like we were when we played lsu? I recall lsu got beat and FSU bitched out. It's no surprise you would see it that way.

You have to take into account what their record would be if they were indeed in the SEC. Despite their talent, do you think either of them could go through the SEC gauntlet like Alabama?


The SEC has not been very good the last 2 years, so yes Clemson would have gone through that "gauntlet" just like they went through alabama's defense the last two years.

So, I'm smart enough to know that adding two more good teams to the SEC would only make it tougher for my team, which has been the most dominant team in the country for the past 8 years.

What do you think adding two more good teams to the SEC does for YOUR team?

I know schools like FSU & Clemson would only mean an overlap in the areas that already have SECN, but from a $$$ perspective, is there any upside (or none at all) having a few extra potential marquee matchups that could attract attention on a national level? Or does it not really amount to much, compared to getting some more SECN subscriptions? I seriously don't know one way or the other... anyone more knowledgeable have the answer to this?

1. Conference expansion is never about adding "good" programs. It's about money. Money in this day and age is about new TV markets. The South Carolina and Florida markets are already covered.

2. Current SEC programs don't want to add in-state programs.

3. Clemson's last 4-5 years have been quite excellent, but history says they are likely an anomaly. It's far more likely Clemson goes back to being a mediocre program than them staying an elite top 5 program, in the long run.

looking back.

The SEC is fricking clueless.


The SEC has enough football powerhouses. Adding more only takes away from the success of the elite teams the SEC already has.

Hell Spurrier going to South Carolina really fricked Tennessee over. UT probably would have ended up with some of their stars like Lattimore, Clowney, Alshon Jeffery, etc.

South Carolina has brought a good baseball program. And Arkansas brought a strong basketball program that has recently fallen on hard times
