Clemson on the other hand HAS to schedule those games to beef the schedule. Those are the facts of the matter.
Thanks capt obvious. We all know that the SEC won't have Clemson. It's abundantly clear that the SEC isn't interested in Clemson since they're not gaining a real TV market. From a football and location standpoint it'd make sense, but we all know it's not about that... It's about TV dollars. The pockets those tv dollars are in is changing rapidly.
I still think conference realignment is coming, question is when. Not if, but when the steaming providers can afford to outspend the networks for college football rights it'll change things forever. Then Clemson might have a shot at getting in a more competitive conference. Until then they're stuck and everyone knows it. It's not Clemson's fault the rest of the ACC isn't keeping up.
And since they're stuck they have to look out of conference for bigger games, therein lies the dilemma. Top notch football programs in the south are pretty much in the SEC, and for the reason you mentioned, won't schedule Clemson.
