Clemson to Chik Fil A
..over BC. supposedly Swofford offered to guarantee 17,500 BC tickets sold, and offered Clemson some $ not to take the bid, but to no avail. Not sure how I feel about this. In a just world the bowls would take the teams in order. At the same time, why is the ACC commish offering to pay one school not to go in place of another. I understand the whole "traveling well" thing with schools is a catch-22 -- get picked for good bowl games and your fans will travel, but you only get picked for good bowl games IF you travel well. But should the ACC be spending $ on behalf of one school and not the other 11?

The whole thing itself stinks. But one thing I'm afraid of now as the years pass its becoming more and more known by everyone how this works and how its gonna work -- what does that do for recruiting. What if a recruit decides not to play for a BC, Pitt, Maryland, Northwestern because they know they won't play in warm weather bowl games. So who cares if you offer a good education, good coaching, and will win a lot of games. You're better off playing for a 6-6 Georgia team than a 9-3 Vanderbilt team.
agreed. MD has gotten passed over for Clemson befor eand I'm sure will again. Who knows, someone needs to come up with a good idea and just solve the entire problem.
