To offset revenue disparity vs SEC, shut down basketball program


Feb 2, 2020, 7:58 AM

Feed all money earmarked for basketball into football program. Tired of such a sorry product that brings Clemson University nothing. It’s a lazy, undisciplined program. Consistently inconsistent due to a loser’s mentality of playing down to weaker competition that cause inexcusable losses.

Football is what drives the athletic revenue so feed it.

Excellent idea. Should cater to both sides.

Those who want Coach Brownell to remain bb coach for the life of the program. And those who want him gone.

Liquidate & make additions to the football facilities

Up until this BB recruiting year, there didn't seem like a lot effort to hit the recruiting trail hard, rather dry snitch insanely jealous theories to anyone who'll listen about football program's recruiting success; quietly allow the narrative to spread that we had Zion as a silent but he left us at the alter, & far too reliant on the portal to fill the roster. One & done rule killed a lot of my interest in the collegiate level of the sport

I have no interest in b-ball, ours, other colleges or the pros.

How do you think the basketball players feel when they hear or read things like this? Do you think it encourages their efforts?

Watching their lackadaisical play doesn’t inspire me to support so I don’t care what they think.

When they show me some heart and consistency, I may change my opinion.

I certainly hope you are not in charge of a large corporation, paying top execs monstrous salaries, and basing your decisions on how some of their staff feels. Please re-think your logic if you are that person. Your company is going out of business, so let us know so we can short your company stock and make a fortune.

What are you talking about? Do you condone continually paying someone that fails?


Feb 2, 2020, 2:36 PM

Or support a product that doesn’t work? I doubt it so what’s different about this sorry a$$ basketball program than that? My gripe is that if you are going to settle for being a loser then just shut it down. Why keep dumping I’m good money after bad?

Is the first mistake

Basketball makes money


Feb 2, 2020, 12:25 PM

thanks to being in The ACC our TV Income is a moneymaker.

Quit basketball, and we don't get the ACC Basketball TV Money.

Hopefully you are being facetious and not stupid!

Just going thru the motions to cash the football check so let’s return in kind with basketball. Just operate like an intramural team. No expectations and just cash check.

Some ACC football programs just going thru motions to cash football check. Copy that for basketball


Feb 2, 2020, 1:58 PM

Intramural type program with no scholarships to save money. Results won’t be much worse

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Brilliant idea


Feb 2, 2020, 2:23 PM

We could probably save a few $$$ in recruiting since all of the players would be students already and would not even need scholarships for BBall. BRILLIANT!!!
