Ok, sure. Oversimplify the complexity of what went on.

Everyone knows there was a lot more to it than aTm saying "we're leaving" and texas replying "well go to hell we never want to play you again."

You can't be that naive.

I'm old enough to remember like it was yesterday when SCAR bailed on the ACC and I can guarantee you that nothing in the history of college football was more contentious or complicated than that, yet we still play one another. Ga Tech and UGA is another example.

Now, the ACC, much like what the punk BIG 12 officials did, tried to mandate that no ACC team play SCAR, including Clemson, but NC State told them to pound sand and so did everyone else eventually. Plus, our state legislators moved quickly to inact a law requiring SCAR and Clemson to play every year and I believe we are now the second oldest continuous rivalry game in the country.
