LOL at trying to make it seem they care about the coots
Apr 19, 2013, 1:16 PM

they won't invite us simply do to money and markets not because they care about what one of their schools that has historically done nothing for them thinks or feels.

the fact that they still root for UGA, despite hating them about as much as we don, because they are "in the conference" is laudable. I could care less what FSU, GT, VT, etc do. It's all about Clemson and our reputation.

games when the ACC is losing and looking bad. I pull for the ACC so that the conference games are more exciting when Clemson competes against them. I miss when FSU, Miami, VT, GT, UNC, and NCST are all ranked in the top 25. Shoot, even Wake, BC, and Virginia flirted with it for a little while.

They could claim that they'll have won EVERY Clemson-Carolina game from that point forward. Because even when they lose to an SEC team, they win!

I've heard that UGA, Florida, USC, and TA&M have made an alliance to prevent others in their state from joining. They each have large schools in their state that rival them and would steal some lime light.

how good we can recruit. If we can recruit this good being in the ACC, Clemson would be signing top 5 classes every year in the SEC. The only thing a lot of these SEC schools can say to recruits that Clemson is also recruiting, is "we're in the SEC". If Clemson was in the SEC, they wouldn't be able to use that any more. And the "we're in the SEC" is sometimes the only thing these kids can say to recruits, because Clemson is such a better University than nearly all of the SEC schools on so many levels.

Don't believe these putz here on T-Net. Most of them only care about sports. We alum know there's more to a university's worth and value than how much money it's sports programs generate.
You non-alum need to calm down. I'm not insulting you. I know you are sensitive about this issue but the truth is that you have no say in the matter.

Every school in the sec has a vote on the entrance of new schools. A least they did last year so unless they've changed something.

Honestly I'm not sure if it has to be unanimous or not, but I imagine that they would do whatever they had to do to influence other votes.

Apr 19, 2013, 1:53 PM

everything I say with a grade of slaw...the $EC seems to be all about creating a massive TV market across the southeast which is arguably the richest place for football talent. The SEC has slowly maintained its 'dominance' by winning a great deal of NC for like the past decade and has built a brand that is recognized nationally, especially with ESecPN backing them. So if the $EC wants to continue to expand and increase its revenue, then naturally it would want to incorporate teams in its conference for which they have no market for.
The problem here is that ESecPN is willing to bet that they already have the Clemson market because they know we will watch the USuC game in anticipation of them losing...
In other words, I don't think we'll be joining the $EC anytime soon.

What is this CROCK about "not wanting to do that to South Carolina" bull???
Are there not already TWO teams in both the states of Ala and Miss??
That is a lame argument. Besides, since the SEC prides itself on winning football, Clemson would be a better FIT than South Carolina anyway!
The Dirtpeckers have been there for 42 years.....and have contributed NOTHING to that "pride".

You do realize the "lame" argument brings up is basically comparing apples and oranges.
Auburn, Alabama (two schools from the same state), and Ole Miss/Miss St. (again, same state), were ORIGINAL members of the SEC, right?
It's not like they added Auburn or Ole Miss a few years ago.
That's a lot different than it being 2013 and adding additional members. I'd say there's a big difference adding teams already in the same state that can't offer any additional exposure and markets (the TV ratings/the thing that really matters $$$) as opposed to talking about two sets of same state teams that have been part of the conference since the 1930s.

When the coots went to the sec it was an easy move for them b/c they wasn't a part of nothing. The only thing they brought with them to the sec was the ability to take an A$$ whipping every year with a smile. Now they have something to pull for, sec sec.

It will not matter. Because:

2. We will maintain our Academic integrity by remaining in the far superior Academic ACC!!
Folks, calm down. Clemson stands on their own, and we do not NEED the "SEC".
Clemson is THE recognized University in the State of South Carolina EVERYWHERE outside of Coot-town!

Look I'm not trying argue with anyone. Mike Slive, commissioner of the sec, stated that if one or more current teams were to vote against the admission of another team then he would veto that teams entrance. UGA, UF, and USCe all have a so called agreememt with each other to help keep FSU, GT, and Clemson out of the sec. As far as Ole Miss, Miss St, Vanderbilt, Tenn, Auburn, and Alabama goes they are all original members of the conference. In regards to the anti-trust aspect of it I'm not a practicing lawyer, but Mike Slive was so if you have any questions ask him. Also, I never said that you guys wanted to join, just that it would be hard for you to now. If Clemson, FSU, Miami, and Va Tech are firing on all cylinders then the acc would be an extremely powerful conference. Don't believe anything that I said look it up for yourselves.

The commissioner doesn't have that power. He actually doesn't have an official role in the process, other than calling the meeting if the president doesn't call it. An invitation requires a 3/4 (11+) vote from the executive committee. Expulsion requires a 2/3 (10+) vote. A simple majority elects the commissioner, and although the constitution doesn't state it, a simple majority likely can remove him. Would Mike Jive go against a supermajority of his bosses as you say? No, of course not.
So, technically it takes four to block. If UT wanted to join and there were 10 votes in favor, there would be pressure on the A&M exec to make it 11.

I'm not sure why you are asking this question but Clemson has nine 10+ win seasons.
11-1948, 11-1978, 12-1981, 10-1987, 10-1988, 10-1989, 10-1990, 10-2011, 11-2012
USC has three.
10-1984, 11-2011, 11-2012
Yes, Dabo and Spurrier both have two and USC only has three.
I have a question for you... How much longer will you be satisfied with 10 win seasons but not winning the division or conference?

I know what the rules are. I looked them up. I was simply explaining this so called "gentlemen's pact" and what Mike Slive said. I'm not trying to discredit what you said. I'm telling you what has been apparently diacussed amongst certain schools and the commissioner himself. If you want to discuss it with them by all means go ahead.

At another point a few years ago, Mike Slive also supposedly "said" that his plan was to expand to 16 with UT, A&M, Clemson and FSU. Like most of those stories, there are no direct quotes.
