Tepper is going to sh*t for everything he does, but I don't see this as a big deal or a bad decision.  He could move training camp to Pittsburgh for all I care.

The moving it isn't likely to be as big a deal as it will be when he starts charging for attendance.

And yes, that's coming.

It's certainly possible that Tepper doesn't give a sh-t about the South Carolina side of the fanbase anymore.

Might be wise for him to remember though that it's not like the team is exactly growing its fanbase in their current status.

Are the Panthers really in a position to take any fans for granted?

Without a doubt.  It's actually surprising he hasn't already started charging admission to TC.  

Cant do that until the team is good on the field.

 Because they arent going back to Wofford?  It was an antiquated way of doing things and its main purpose was a way for Richardson to pump money into the school he went to without him having to give it to them directly.  They've been trying to get away from that arrangement for years.  I dont think it has anything to do with their attitude towards fans in SC.

It seems as if Tepper can't even get the practice facilities right.  While spending millions for coaches to sit on couches and draw double paychecks and abandoning the Rock Hill complex, the man is a colossal screw up.  He has ego and money where brains should be.  Dangerous

I am totally on his side in the Rock Hill debacle but thats the only thing out of his tenure. He is just too impatient. He has been in positions to become a winner and fumbled every time.

now, even if i pull out of the rockhill deal ima gonna do it myself somewhere else tho.

A lot of those in the G-SP area have turned to the Falcons the past few years and a lot of those in the Low Country follow Florida teams.

15+ years ago when I lived in Charleston, it was easier to find an ATL or JAX game on TV than it was to see a Panthers game.

Or they just don't care about the NFL at all and only follow college, which feels like the majority of SCians.

      Interesting topic.  I have had a few NFL friends and one told me that he could not work out or train unless the activities and facilities were approved. AI: In many NFL contracts, certain activities are restricted, and injuries sustained during those activities can lead to the voiding of contract guarantees or even the entire contract. These restrictions often include dangerous activities like skydiving, rock climbing, or even engaging in contact sports like boxing. Additionally, injuries sustained while working out at non-team facilities or during personal recreational activities may be classified as "non-football injuries," potentially impacting the player's compensation.    Having said that, I question the reason the person filming this was not helping.  Secondly, the decision to put it on social media makes it seem a bit prearranged.  I do not think this would violate his contract, but I do think it is a bit stupid on his part in that he could be injured.

      Doesn't make it right.  And as you put it, you wanted to ban him from being country, which is essentially policing who he is as a person lol  I get protecting the "asset", but banning people from living their life is crazy. Russell Wilson likes to play helicopter pilot.  I would deem that WAY more dangerous.  Those things scare me.  I still wouldn't want to keep him from doing it if I were his boss.  I would just try not to think about it, haha.

      Could do better could do worse. I've seen some people very indignant over bringing him back and I can absolutely relate to the sentiment. But it's just in a backup role. He's also a good locker room presence and an effort player so for a 1 year rental in a year where we aren't going to do much it's fine. This is a development year. And there will be options if need be at the trade deadline. Besides at the end of the day we all knew a signing like this was around the corner after how drafting Mark Williams ended. He should have been our franchise center for the next several years. I don’t put that failure on the Hornets.
