It's pretty simple, if we don't get out of the ACC our football future is done. More money ain't enough as it still won't be as much as we'd get in one of the P2 conferences, yes, I said it, because let's be honest (and I called this when UT and OU announced leaving the Big 12), the NCAA is dead and soon to be gone. This was an inevitable move as it's completely corrupt and couldn't be fixed. The Big10 and SEC are already discussing having their own National Title, they have ALL the good teams, ALL the big money TV rights, and everyone else will end up being like D2.

I agree with the invite, however, I would guarantee the reason we (and FSU) have not received one yet is because of our GOR and ACC mess - last thing either of those conferences want is a lawsuit. And if ESPN continues to tamper with us getting into the SEC, then I believe (as I read someone post here a while back) the best move is to lobby for an invite into the Big10. The SEC wants no part of the Big10 coming into the south so we could sting arm them out of their ESPN leverage from that angle.

And lastly...if it's not the money, or the fact we'll be playing in the "subpar" playoffs of all the leftover conferences since the SEC and Big10 will likely have their own Natty; it's the simple fact of the teams in the conferences. I mean come on, if you're a kid looking at schools why in the #### would you want to go to Clemson and play our 'acc' schedule when you could go to one of the Power 2 conferences and play the biggest and the best week in and week out, on national TV with the best slotted times. Let's be honest the remaining conferences will be getting the crap time slots and days, shoot, Clemson will probably be playing Tuesday nights down the road if we don't get out of the ACC.

Not only the money, but I would say even with it being said (even by SEC folks) that Clemson is an SEC school playing from the sissy ACC conference. But our biggest drawback even more than the money is in recruiting, and bc we're ACC we never get an equal haul of the 5 star recruits bc they have been told their entire FB career from the smallest divisions and up through college that they will be notice more and have a better chance of playing in the NFL from the SEC, also they are told that SEC talent is Bigger, Stronger, Taller, and Faster. That's also a myth that has been the ESECPN Monarch ever since ESPN became a major broadcaster of sports when those of us that's in our 70's now were in our teens and very early 20's when they first aired on TV, and they have always signed the biggest money contracts with the SEC....
