More University/AD related but this is the stuff that is infuriating and athletic departments and universities as whole need to get their sh*t together. Ridiculous for some of these sports programs and students the univeristies are supposed to serve.

edit to summarize- Clemson drops $55M on a football facility. Pays Dabo 10 year, $93M, but cuts track and field due to “financial challenges”


And this is across the country as we lose site of public universities’ missions.

Anyway, go footbaw.

And this doesn't even count the (unreported) budget that the Clemson bagmen have....:biggrin:

University trustees approved the 10 year, $92 million deal Friday. It runs through 2028 and includes two new clauses to make sure Swinney stays with the Tigers and stays one of the sport’s best paid coaches as long as he keeps winning.

The buyout in Swinney’s contract increases significantly if he leaves Clemson to coach at Alabama, where he was a walk on wide receiver and assistant coach in the 1990s. Swinney must pay $4 million if he leaves Clemson before the end of this year, but the buyout increases to $6 million if he coaches the Crimson Tide....26 Apr 2019... https://apnews.com/article/5115b75eb9fe4a5bb620910097f93725

Clemson wanted to lock him up, so he won't jump to Alabama when Saban retires....:nod:

So there’s a movie coming to Disney+ in a few days, dealing with a Clemson player and how he takes care of his kid brother while playing college football. I’m sure it will get the tear-jerking Disney storyline.

It’s probably an OK story, and Ray Ray is probably a good guy, but would Disney/ESPN/ACC have made the movie if it happened in Iowa or Colorado?

I plan on seeing it the same number of times I’ve seen Rudy in the 25+ years it’s been out: zero. But I’m sure Rudy was offsides.

Interesting article I came across while looking at Pat Forde's twitter with an interesting passage. https://www.si.com/college/2020/11/06/clemson-signal-stealing-dabo-swinney-daily-cover

LSU threw everything at the Tigers in the CFP championship game last season—sign boards, hand signals and a lot of tempo. LSU lit up Clemson for 42 points, 628 yards and 7.75 yards per play, the most points Clemson has allowed since 2016, the most yards in the Swinney era and the most yards per play since 2012. But was that a product of foiling sign stealing, or a product of Joe Burrow and the rest of the LSU offense being brilliantly talented and expertly coached?

Of greater insight might be the game that preceded the loss to LSU. That’s when Clemson eked past Ohio State in the CFP semifinals, 29–23. In that game, the Tigers fell behind 16–0 before slowing the Buckeyes down and rallying.

In Ohio State’s first five possessions, it produced four scoring drives and 290 offensive yards on 35 snaps, 8.29 yards per play. The next eight possessions led to one scoring drive, 243 total yards and 4.86 yards per play. Did Venables’s support staff crack the Buckeyes’ play-calling code during the game? A couple of staffers at other schools suggested it.
