Interesting topic. Tonight I a Baseball T-Net poster allude to the ACM as a means for SC to solicit the services of VA top baseball prospects thru providing ACM scholarship funds instead of limited baseball scholarship funds.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Southern Regional Education Board Academic Common Market, it is a consortium of southern universities who collaborate to offer in-state tuition in various majors sometimes not offered or limited in the students' home states. For example, GA high school students are eligible for discounted tuitions in various majors at SC, KY, Auburn, Alabama, LSU, FSU, Ok State, TN, OK, Southern Miss, Memphis, WVU, Louisville, MUSC, Ms State and others. Clemson appears to have recently begun to offer ACM programs in Chinese, Spanish and Health.
Are any T-Netters familiar with the SREB ACM? Are there any Clemson plans to expand SREB ACM major offerings? Thanks in advance for any available feedback.
I'm unsure if Clemson plans to expand their academic common market offerings. However, if they can tap those funds to offer in-state tuition to out of state student athletes, it certainly makes sense for baseball.
I live in Georgia and my son's passion is performing arts, specifically musical theater. He goes to Alabama and gets in-state tuition since musical theater isn't offered in Georgia. It saves me a bunch of money. Needless to say, I like it.
