Clemson has One Week to Decide on Potentially Leaving the ACC

With the conference musical chairs going on, there is no telling on whether or not Clemson will be the next to jump ship.

The decision makers can not waste time though because the official deadline for ACC schools to make a decision is August 15th.

According to insiders, many schools in the Atlantic Coast Conference are exploring ways to leave the Grant of Rights agreement. However, this agreement will not expire until 2036, so it has prevented any schools from leaving thus far. If any schools want to leave and join another conference in 2024, they will need to make a decision soon.

Here on the Clemson Wire, we spoke about the potential of Clemson jumping to the SEC and where they stand with a potential move, but with the deadline approaching close, a decision needs to be made soon.

The media rights deals floating around are heavily focused on football, and it will be a significant factor in making decisions. Currently, schools in the Big Ten and SEC are earning $30 million more than those in the ACC. And because of that Florida State is leaning towards making a leap out of the conference.
