I don't know what interview you guys were reading....


May 21, 2012, 7:28 PM

(and I thought David did a great job, btw)...

But TDP pretty much set the stage for us to exit...

Hs showed no support for the ACC.

He sighted examples of other school jumping around.

He acknowledged the importance of remaining relevant in football.

He was also very careful with his wording.

"I've been working since I was 15 continually until now. I worked 40 hours a week at 15, when it wasn't even legal for 15 year olds to work that many hours."


people dont understand...


May 21, 2012, 7:29 PM

that he cant really say to much.lets say if he blasted the ACC and so forth then the big 12 deal were to fall through.the acc would make life bad for clemson after that.

We knew he would not show his whole hand any way in this high stakes poker game! Gotta read between the lines!

None of those shleps have ever negotiated


May 21, 2012, 7:33 PM

Multi million dollar deals. If they had the message and unspoken words from TDP would be obvious. We're gone.

Anyone who didn't read it that way is just plain dumb


May 21, 2012, 7:52 PM

Not saying that it means we are bolting, but TDP made it plain that it is a very distinct possibility.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I believe he made it a little more than likely.***

Haha, what did people expect?


May 21, 2012, 8:03 PM

TDPs hands are tied legally and I personally am glad he didn't say stupid stuff like the FSU guy did, which made them look terrible.

The important qualifier in TDPs statement was "nobody AT CLEMSON has talked to the big 12." If you remember we created a team to look into conference expansion, etc., last fall. These would technically be independent folks.

Also, he went out of his way to mention football needs to be the focus many times, so that to me said they are working on it.

May 21, 2012, 8:07 PM

Just like when Petrino said he wasn't leaving Louisville?

Just like when Missou said they were staying put?

Just like when Tiger Woods said he did not bang #### stars?



Legally, you say these things to give yourself plausible deniability in a law suit. As someone pointed out, TDP is a lawyer, so he gets it. Yes, I think this is one of the reasons that lawyers are snakes as a whole, but it is just the reality in the way our country works.

He also used ters like "moving target" . This gives

him the old out of things changed by the minute. I agree with you on the interview by the way.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He will make recommendations to BOT and J. Barker.


May 21, 2012, 8:05 PM

The ultimate decision will be made by them.

After reading that interview, I am 100% confident that


May 21, 2012, 8:16 PM

Clemson is B12 bound. I thought TDP said a lot without saying much.

you would be correct.... it was very telling***

It does not sound like


May 21, 2012, 8:28 PM

anything I have ever heard from a Clemson AD before him. Of course, things are different today. Moving target makes it sound like CU might just bolt!

Waiting for the Clemson to the SEC rumors to start again after you're left out of the BIG12.

Xactly Right - In Fact


May 21, 2012, 11:59 PM

I thought TDP was more "revealing" than I anticipated he would be.
