Clemson fan here
First time positing, but I've followed this board for a while now. In my opinion, this is the best conference realignment message board out there. Keep posting Stech. Thanks and keep it going.
I saw the thread about Clemson's new football operations complex and thought I would provide a little more information. Yes, it's going to be something special. However, it is not the only sport Clemson is investing in. It just gets the most publicity. Clemson is currently spending $176 million of athletics upgrades.
In the last ten years Clemson has...
1. Built a new Track and Field complex.
2. Spent 10 million on upgrades and additions to baseball.
3. Soccer - several million spent in upgrades.
4. Golf - New clubhouse and practice facility.
5. Tennis - new facility planned.
6. New weight room, offices, and meeting space for all non rev sports.
7. Basketball - new $64 million rebuild of Littlejohn (which ironically is more than we're spending on the fb complex, but fb is getting all the attention.
Clemson has made a commitment to compete at the highest level. In my opinion we have to do that because we're in the heart of SEC country. We either compete or get left behind.
Thanks again for letting me post. I just wanted to clear up some of the confusion I saw in the other thread.
