BOT Votes to Change University's Name..........
Feb 7, 2018, 2:21 PM
|
|
The Clemson BOT met today and voted to change the name of Clemson University to the University of Clemson.
This is being done to avoid confusion as certain new football recruits believe they'll be attending the "University of Clemson."

that this was some sort of 'joke', a whimsy if you will.
I think we all agree that 'The University of Clemson' is... inelegant.

We'd beat them soundly, I'm sure.

Wow, that's really disappointing. I've always apprecaited

that we put the Clemson name first. I can't believe the BOT was able to hold a vote on this without any input from alumni.

I have a pre-prepared complaint letter for just these type of occasions.

Does it have the word, 'tyranny' in it?
Feb 7, 2018, 3:15 PM

Or 'despotic'? I bet it does.

This will certainly help avoid confusion with Tri-County Tech as well.

Guys, we are recruiting across a wider footprint these days due to our football success. This means that we sign guys who do not have the same familiarity as previous recruits.
If you think about this, it is actually a good thing. So, there is little benefit in ridiculing them, right?

They should know the name of the school.........
Feb 7, 2018, 3:51 PM
|

they're signing with and will be attending and playing for. Nowhere in the media, ESPN, TV, etc. or on any of our printed information anywhere does it say "University of Clemson."
If they're good enough to come to Clemson, then should know the correct name.
Making a joke, by the way, is not the same as ridiculing them.

It’s for the drama

They have different hats from universities in front of them.
If they say Clemson first there’s no drama when they delay for .effect ..
That’s what I was thinking.

I think the obvious thing is to rename it "Clemson University of Clemson"
... everything is now covered.
