“Now its “big time””

It’s like almost every University. Tiger Paws rule, especially on Saturday.
My Dad went to Clemson and I remember Frank Howard and followed the team until Danny Ford appeared on the field.

I just noted to one of our administrators that was proudly stating how important football, and a national championship, (LSU) was to raising funds for our endowment (550M) that Harvard had reached 34B and he continued on with the football RaRa. He still thinks football is the more important than academics.

I see where Harvard finally started using their hoard of endowment money ($50 billion????) to start subsidizing tuition for some students. The greed and leftwing politics in most universities is outrageous. Clemson is not in that category by many measures and Barker is a true first class leader. I like Sanford’s long term goal to essentially privatize state colleges.
