People seem to have forgotten Spurrier

threatened to quit in 2007 if the academic standards at usuc weren't lowered. Lets see that was 6 years ago and they have now won 5 in a row. How is the university proud of what they accomplished?

Really, which player at USC who is eligible thru the NCAA would not be allowed at Clemson? Not a one, but if you believe it and it makes you feel better then hope it helps.

You are absolutely wrong. Now you can pat yourself on the back and say you wouldn't have taken those 2 but you are dead wrong. But again, if it makes you feel better.
They both would be suited up and playing if they had chosen Clemson and you are fooling yourself if you think they wouldn't.

Ok Costanza. Like George told Jerry, it's not a lie if you believe it. Again, if that makes you feel better I am glad you have that going for you but you are wrong.

you're "sure" you say?
Tell us more facts, please. Or just continue to speculate, wish, and be in denial that the good and bad and questionable things happen or don't happen AT EVERY SCHOOL.

Spurrier also started out 1-3 against Clemson. 5 in a row sucks but it can change fast.

commit they get.... it's been proven..
Spurrier writes a personal check to every player on a weekly basis.
He also allows them to pet-sit his hamsters... another NCAA violation

Here's a short article on ESPN in 2007 about it

Yeah, he got them to "dumb it down" a little. Guess that shows how badly the AD and prez wanted to keep him and apparently whose calling the shots down there; sold out to the OBC.

Excuses, excuses, and wait! How about some more excuses! Half of the Tiger fans on this board are saying that the better athletes, coached by better coaches, lost the game because of mistakes. I guess now the other half is trying to convince everyone that SC lowers their standards, or cheats in recruiting, to get the better players that won the game. Let's all get on the same page with our excuses, OK?

Not making excuses; just showing what he did

and they let him. If you remember, that's why SC got out of the ACC about 40 years ago - academic standards and pressure from McGuire. A lot of SC players, Clowney included, would probably had to have gone to prep school. So should we just lower standards to get "SEC" type players? Why not, then we can be a Thug U too.

No player ever has to go to Prep school unless he cannot meet the minimum NCAA standards. Has nothing to do with individual university policies or requirements.
