Clemson Is The Latest School To Deny Any Contact From The SEC

Clemson president James Barker told The Post and Courier on Saturday the school has not been in contact with the Southeastern Conference regarding its reported conference expansion plans and that Clemson is “committed” to the Atlantic Coast Conference. Reports have Texas A&M making an imminent jump to the SEC, which has sparked a torrent of speculation on what other program or programs would join the powerful conference as the current 12-team SEC would be unlikely to remain at 13 teams. Multiple reports have SEC presidents meeting at a secret location on Sunday to discuss admitting Texas A&M along with other expansion discussions. An ESPN report Saturday morning was the latest linking Clemson to the SEC, reporting the Tigers would be joined by Texas A&M, Florida State and Missouri. Clemson is thought to be attractive to the SEC because of its strong football brand and geographic location.

Clemson doesn't seem like an SEC fit to me. Then again neither did Texas A&M.

Clemson has the built in rivalries with South Carolina and Georgia. That's why they would make the jump.

Who would they go to next? UNC? They could have FSU or Clemson, we need the easier conference.

Why would you want your conference to get weaker?

They joined to improve their basketball program. Football was a byproduct of that.

But, I ask again why would you want to weaken your conference?
