Clemson's Elevate initiatives may give a hint of a new conference destination.

1. Deliver the number 1 student experience in the nation.
2. Double research expenditures by 2035 and position for AAU membership.
3. Transform Lives Statewide and Beyond Through Educational, Economic, Agricultural and Health Outreach.
Maybe it's just me, but particularly initiative 2 all seems to align with bringing Clemson into a like academic program with B1G schools.
Number 1 is just Clemson being Clemson. What our university is doing for students now, with my daughter as a junior is night and day from my experience at Clemson. I loved my experience! But every day, I have a new wow moment with the opportunities my daughter has experienced. Just this semester, she traveled with Clemson's Cadency program to Seattle and Portland to tour among others: Starbucks, Nike, and Adidas headquarters. She has a corporate mentor, also through Cadency, who is the head of digital experience and branding for Chic fil a. She was at their headquarters all day on Monday (first day of spring break). She described it as the best day of her life.
Number 3 is in line with Clemson's initial identity as a land grant university.
I started this post talking about conference realignment. But ya'll there is so much good stuff happening at our beloved university to be proud of. I am amazed and proud. Regardless of where we end up athletically, our pride in our university should be growing daily. I know mine is.

The University is doing great things and we should be especially proud of the employment/placement outcomes for recent graduates, but some people will rant about the school being “woke” nowadays or what not because some people are just that unhinged.

There is "wokeness" in our culture everywhere. There is no place that is not

touched by it. That being said, my daughter is a conservative, open about her faith Christian. She has found room to learn and grow without being attacked or belittled for either. She has found like minded friends and some of those are professors and in leadership roles at Clemson.

I have not heard anyone rant about that in regards to Clemson.
We must prepare for the BIG10 eligibility regardless of our intention to give all options. If the SEC is the only option then Clemson has no leverage. SEC will only add Clemson right now if they fear the BIG10 moving south otherwise they will be happy to let things play out and pick who they want later when it benefits them monetarily.

I agree. The B1G moving into the SEC's traditional footprint is

a big deal that they will fight against. I can see the B1G wanting Clemson, national brand recognition due to the last six years, FSU for share of the Florida market, and UNC for a share on NC. Maybe, GT would be included in that, but I'm not sure that GT has that much brand recognition from a TV market perspective.
