The academic center/weight room is a must for us to stay competitive in the recruiting landscape. I don't know if any of you have seen how bad our weight room is but abysmal is the word I'd use to describe it. And we don't have an academic center. You wanna recruit mom and dad, show them their kid is gonna graduate. The weight room is the Lockhart stadium of college weight rooms. Both Chun and Kelly KNOW that if football wins, the rest of the university wins, big. These are worthwhile investments that pay off big time in the long run. My guess, is that Chun was trying to secure a major gift before starting a capital campaign, then we're all on the hook to help out.
Fun fact. Clemson is a perineal top 25 program. Last year, they were a top 10 program and their applications this spring INCREASED 30%. They did nothing else, no new pr campaigns, marketing new programs, nothing. They won football games and kids took notice. A rising tide raises all ships.

The stadium debt is being attacked by season ticket sales, that was part of the change of donation when you were in priority and premium clubs…oh and Alabama is paying some too.

Well said, this administration is all in on football because at this point they don't have a choice and they know it is the one area where you can get the biggest payoff in the long run.
GO OWLS!

Agreed, especially now since the NCAA is allowing the big conferences autonomy now in certain areas especially in areas of paying for above cost of attendance for athletes.
