Lets just go

Independent play who we want when we want where we want. I know money would be problem but we could figure something out.

You could just double ticket prices.

True Clemson fans will be willing to make that sacrifice.

Raise them a littleand when you could have Texas or ND, Florida, Michigan any given week people would pay.

Being a "true clemson fan" doesnt mean you could afford to pay DOUBLE for tickets, I stuggle as it is to attend a few games a year. I would certainly try and budget to attend the games BUT to double in price is out of the question.

Our athletics would fold without a conference. Look up the

budget and see how much money comes from the conference. Only schools that have a national brand like ND or Texas for example could go on their own.

key word "worked."

in the 80's - 90's, there were enough independents to play each other...like their own conference. Traditional powers resided as independents making them the SEC of yesteryear. And scheduling wasn't a problem.

Today, being independent is mostly a transitioning place for schools switching conferences. Most schools are now in a conference because they need conference money. Not to mention, you'd have a hard time putting a schedule together, unless you were a national brand like the 4 remianing independents, who don't need conference money.

ND - They have an exclusive TV contract
Army and Navy - funded by the federal govenment
BYU - funded by the morman population
