ACM


Jun 17, 2019, 7:20 AM

A lot of you need to be listening to mickey right now. he is talking about why clemson is so far behind the 8 ball. our administration did away with the acm this year. it hurts more than just baseball. if we want to be competitive we need to let the administration know that they are the ones that say beast is the standard.

state? Not talking athletes, but one of our children is looking at a program of study that Clemson does not offer, and it seems like several of our neighboring states do not participate. I guess that may be a function of SC not reciprocating? Anybody know if participation is by school or by state?

"far behind"? 35 players on the baseball team, how many


Jun 17, 2019, 7:36 AM

took advantage of ACM-Undergrad while it was available?


I believe I read 21 total student-athletes were under the ACM-All? at one point in the recents. ACM for Graduates was and is still available. Any student-athlete that came to Clemson under ACM-Undergrad will still pay the Instate Tuition amount, it wasn't taken away from existing participants - so the "savings" continue.


https://www.clemson.edu/financial-aid/common-market.html


The only comment I've seen that might be at the root is the program is not one for one, student exchange - South Carolina having ~4-5 to 1 ACM students to other ACM members. Pretty big discrepancy. With Softball coming online, the pool would be even bigger, AD money stretched even further...

Jun 17, 2019, 8:35 AM [ in reply to Re: "far behind"? 35 players on the baseball team, how many ]

per se, it's an arrangement between states that if a student's home state does not offer a program[undergrad or grad], the student can apply in a participating state's program and if accepted, will be charged as an instate student in terms of tuition.

Need based aid, athletic scholarships, merit based grants et al are different conversations and @viztiz has nailed them, tirelessly.


Here derob: http://www.diycollegerankings.com/academic-common-market/20796/


As for Duke, Vanderbilt, I'm sorry, but those are life choices when it comes to higher education. They offer need based aid, so does Clemson - merit for the qualified that earn it.

BUT, the counter for all is equal in the eyes of the NC2A.

Re: ACM


Jun 17, 2019, 9:37 AM

Can we attempt to be remotely honest about the Academic Common Market? It was Leggett and Lecroy that got Clemson to join the ACM. Leggett never got to utilize it’s benefit. Much like the facilities he raised the money for, the benefit would be passed directly to Monte Lee. Leggett and his record of success would not be afforded the benefit of the doubt that these changes would matter to this program. Clemson’s first undergraduate ACM class was 2015. Monte Lee’s whole tenure he has had the benefit of the ACM. This will be his first recruiting class where it is not available to him.

It is a short sighted decision to leave the ACM. The potential financial implications are trivial in the big picture. It mostly demonstrates that our AD is either not properly engaged with the greater Clemson administration or simply is indifferent to the challenges of non-revenue sports.

The ACM is an issue and should be addressed. But, as a point of discussion, it is mostly being used as cover for an underperforming baseball team. And that is a complete fallacy.

Re: ACM


Jun 17, 2019, 10:38 AM

You have 11.7 scholarships to spend. If they want to use a higher portion of that for a player they have less to spread around to others. I’d love to know your source and actual details of the player involved but I’m fairly sure you conveniently won’t be able to provide those. If the player in question is getting 75% financial aid and 25% baseball scholaship he still counts as a full scholarship against the 11.7. I don’t remember you raising hell about the ACM for the 22 years Jack did without it.

Re: ACM


Jun 17, 2019, 11:28 AM [ in reply to Re: ACM ]

One of the primary reasons that the ACM matters is the incredible inflation in college tuition. But, tuition inflation at Clemson was actually significantly greater from 1999-2009 than 2009-2019. Out of state tuition grew nearly 300% from 1999-2009. It was half that (150%) the next decade. To act like this is disproportionately affecting Lee is completely disingenuous.

Vanderbilt, everyone’s favorite new boogey man has had much smaller inflation. Less than 200% for the entire time period. So Vanderbilt over the last 20 years has represented an increasingly better “value” against Clemson. But that increase was most dramatic during Leggett’s tenure - including some of his most successful seasons.

Re: I though that JL should have retired as a HOF coach after


Jun 17, 2019, 11:09 AM

You’re welcome to that opinion but I don’t think you could back it up with facts. Now that Lee is in charge all the problems that Leggett navigated are suddenly being presented as insurmountable. Unfortunately for that argument, Leggett did navigate them. Further, Lee had 2 major advantages in his first 4 seasons that Leggett was not afforded (new facilities and the ACM) and failed to improve in any significant way. I think the coach with the proven record would have had a much greater chance of capitalizing.

Agree to disagree I guess. Would like to have seen what he could have done for a couple seasons with the new facilities and the ACM as a recruiting tool. I know we lost one very highly regarded recruit when he was fired. Would like to have seen what he could have done with Beer and Okey in his lineup. I think he would have gotten more out of them than Monte did. But we’ll never know.

Re: If the ACM is used to let students pursue degrees that


Jun 17, 2019, 11:13 AM

They specifically choose a major at Clemson that isn’t offered in their home state. If the student really wants to major in something else they can work towards the undeclared degree while meeting minimum advancement requirements in the declared major. Then they can basically switch in their last semester. Some students do this in state to pick up STEM bonus scholarship money.

Jun 17, 2019, 12:59 PM

You really need to check your sources better. I’d start with the Southern Regional Education Board website. Michigan isn’t even an ACM state. Determining what schools do and don’t offer undergraduate ACM porgrams because it matters where you are from, not just where you are going to. At a glance, FSU and TTU appear to not offer undergraduate programs. So that makes only 5/8 teams possibly using ACM to an advantage over Clemson. But, Arkansas only offers ACM for majors in American Sign Language. Vanderbilt in Dance and Music Therapy.

Looking at the CWS field just by whether the schools are from ACM states shows an average of 6 teams a year from ACM states over the last 12 years. Three time they have had 7/8 from ACM - two of those during Jack’s tenure once in Monte’s (i did not go back through Jack’s entire 22 years).

So surely an average of 6/8 teams represents a dramatic shift caused exclusively by the ACM right? He last 12 years before the ACM came into existence, 4.5 teams per year came from future ACM states. But that was before the 64 team fields and change in tournament format. So, do you want to credit the ACM for 100% of the change or are you willing to acknowledge that the tournament format and an increased focus on baseball in conferences like ACC and SEC might also play some role?

I never accused Monte of using it as a crutch. I accused the hypocrites defending him on this board of using it.

I said he wouldn’t make it here past next season which, as of now, seems pretty on the mark.

Jun 17, 2019, 8:44 PM

not Clemson Baseball.

If the university feels that the ACM is not what the university needs academically, then we shouldn’t participate in it.

Clemson baseball isn’t important enough to compromise our academic standards.
