This assertion makes no sense given there have been reports of SEC's interest in Clemson, in addition to the Big 10.

It is hard to make a case Clemson playing Alabama, UGA, Auburn, Florida etc isn't an attractive option for a conference.

Are you referring to that one tweet from a guy who got shite on immediately for passing on questionable information?

You’re literally not adding any new viewers than when Clemson plays those teams currently.

What do you think the SEC would prefer? Alabama playing Clemson in a market that’s already under their umbrella, or Alabama regularly playing Virginia Tech and bringing in the northern Virginia/DC market?

I thought SEC team fans thought everybody watched SEC football because it was the best, across the country, already.

It would be surprising if college football fans in Virginia didn't at least watch part of SEC games involving ranked teams on a fairly regular basis.

Clemson fans should learn to love the devil they know because the devil they don’t know may treat them worse.

Besides I don’t think USCe will wimp out like 8&forfiet cheat quit whine and lose did. I think USCe will veto clempsons admission to the SEC

UofSC can't make any unilateral decisions like that.

I don't think the ACC has treated Clemson badly. A case could be made they were a little harsh during the Danny Ford years.

I think college football is losing its tradition with this kind of expanson. Clemson not playing NC State and G Tech every year will be pretty weird. We had already lost playing UNC and UVA every year with the ACC expansion 15 years ago

I think a founding member of a conference should stick with it.

You need better info Florida,Georgia,Kentucky and South Carolina form a voting block that can prevent any team’s admission to SEC.
If Gamecocks ask for veto the others will oblige to protect their interests. So yes USCe can block Clemson just by speaking up unilaterally!

lol I'm cool with that if it happens

I'm an ACC stan. Clemson staying in ACC is probably a good strategic move. College football will collapse nationally if the only schools that can make the playoffs are in two super conferences.

You could see an anti-trust lawsuit go to the Supreme Court.

Conference stacking shouldn't be allowed by the NCAA.

Are you implying that Auburn is an attractive or even above-average campus? This isn’t like some rivalry shite, I’ve just always thought anyone would agree that their campus is exceedingly bland and unattractive. Not A&M bad of course, but bottom half of the conference for sure.

I looked at Alabama's campus and it didn't blow me away. It also kind of looks like a UVA copycat but with more roads running through the campus.

the truth is most campuses have an older area that looks pretty nice and a section of buildings built in the 1950s-1970s that are kind of ugly.

I would argue that Clemson fans already watch SEC football and therefore bring no value to the conference. I would take UNC or NC State before Clemson.

I rarely watch SEC football unless the game is close at the end, and it has playoff impact or I don't like one of the teams. The average matchup in the SEC is something like SC vs Kentucky despite the sports media building it up as title contenders matching up in every game.

Florida use to have some fun teams but that's been awhile.

If you are a football fan, then you watch SEC football. You’re probably a liar.

In order to compete the SEC will reserve invitations for locations that have opportunity for new and expanding markets. Clemson is neither new nor expanding and in fact the program is trending down. No offense but no thank you. Best of luck in the ACC.

i don't think you can even accurately describe that condition. if you can, it is probably because you have it or a family member does.

you shouldn't be using it as an insult. that's poor people skills.
