Honestly, my interest in college sports has waned tremendously in recent years. Hard to keep up with it when you don't recognize the names of 80% of the roster because of the constant transfers. I mean, we have a kid suiting up for the basketball team this year who is like 24 and has been playing pro ball in Europe for several years. And we're not the only ones with that type of player. WTF is that???

They're really gonna have to figure out something going forward or they're going to kill the golden goose.

 

that's one thing Clemson football has going for it from a fan perspective.  It's about as close as you can find to the old way of things.   So you pretty much can follow a kid for 4 years/develop and root for them vs just tuning in for this year's rentals that probably come from "rivals" or wherever.   Clemson doesn't need to join the SEC.  That kills the SC rivalry.  Which is basically built in joy even when your team sucks because of tradition. 

Money killing tradition/rivalry is the death of college football.

I mean, even some of the legendary NFL players who played for him for years and know him very well as a coach (and who it should be noted also played college football and understand the differences between the two) were literally yacking it up laughing about how absurd the idea of Bill Belichick coach college football was.
