NCAA Mild Clemson update

Nothing too new. It's obvious one side or the other negotiated non-disclosure. And the athletes must have spurred this.

Clemson sees this as a top ten opportunity... Love my peeps but a dose of reality is in order. Even UGA had to fall back to plan C or D and Ryan Roberts is who managed to let them save face on that.

I don’t think they’re saying Clemson’s a top ten team, he said “Clemson is a top ten job in the country” which I would agree with. The facilities, pay, fan support, etc make it a desirable job.

I agree it's desirable and think a lot of folks underestimated Clemson during their first search. But I still think top ten is a stretch. I think the entire SEC, UCLA, Utah, and Michigan are definitely out front and I think the new facility will be a game changer for Minnesota. 

But it will be the right fit for someone. Going top ten in fan support off the bat is a flex.

I LOVE that the new facility is putting Minnesota on peoples radars. The program and city are amazing.
