...Clemson fans on it. I assume everyone knows that right? Nowhere else in the country could find that I’d imagine. When appointments are made based on political favors that is what happens. Hard to comprehend but it’s true.
Board of trustees has actual...
- Thread starter Goose cock
- Start date
Who are they? I’ve heard this but didn’t know their names or how many or anything.
Don’t have time to look it up right now but as of about 4 years ago there were 3 or 4 on there. Can’t imagine it’s changed.
Agreed. If that is the actual case it needs to come out. There were 2 that donated to Clemson once upon a time but can’t recall the names That was about 4 years ago.
FYI
there are Tarholes on NC Board
not good for us State fans either
I feel your pain

Well, with Clempsun's recent success, perhaps we'd do better with CU grads on our board? JK of course, but I'm NOT IMPRESSED with USC's BOT much!

Former BOT member Darla Moore is a USC grad, but is a self-professed "huge Clemson fan". Her father graduated from Clemson. Of course she has been a tremendous benefactor for Carolina, including the $45M gift for the School of Business, plus other gifts totaling $70M.
She has also donated to Clemson, but not nearly to the same degree.

I saw that. I happen to be from Florence originally. If you know anything about the board there are a number from the pee dee. One was my neighbor (their name is on the football building). 4-5 years ago it was somewhat common knowledge that there were at least 2 board members that had a history of donating to Clemson.
Lol riiiiggghhh. That is what you get with political appointments. In many cases it’s repaying favors. Ugh....cronyism. I swear, this is the basis of our struggles forever.
Wow, genuinely thought we were unique. Because boards operate almost anonymously, who really pays attention to who is making decisions until sh
$ hits the fan like it has here? Again, the people screwing things up are the ones normally who would be in charge of the clean up.
That just shows the lengths to which Clemson will go to in an effort to undermine our university. They send their fans and supporters here for undergrad and law school to build a solid cover story, and then work to destroy us from within.
I wish Clemson would get their own law school. I always loathed the Clemson grads who wore orange on Friday at the law school. Pricks.
And yet, I have no doubt that there are actually people on FGF who believe it.
Clemson isn’t run like an agency of the State Government. Just a fact.
Unfortunately anyone can root for who they want and I doubt that is grounds for removal from the board. Though I'd imagine they'd want to keep their allegiances close to vest when they're serving as a Carolina board member. If they're on the board and they root for Clemson in their home that is their right. If they're on the board and are in IPTAY with Clemson season tickets that may be a problem-unless you're Darla and can do whatever you please for all her donations.
How could we change this issue? Seems as alum,donors, and fans we should address these issues. We definitely need to change the way this is run!!!
Yes FORMER member...Nikki Haley booted Darla off!

Not for undergrad. But most did for Law School or post graduate degrees.

To answer the question, she went to Lander, not Clemson. Then GW and then USC.
She got a graduate degree from USC. However, this position could be held by anyone. It ‘could’ be a Clemson graduate...at the present time...she is not. Same for the Governor...at the present time...the Governor is a USC grad...but we know it could be a Clemson graduate. Sadly to say...I think McMaster has screwed us up with his interference in the Presidential search!
She was alienated by that bitch Nikki Haley. She was a blank check for USC until that POS kicked her off the board for spite.
He is correct. There are board members at USC that are money donors at Clemson. We have the worst board of trustees in the country!Who are the Clems...I know State Secretary of Ed Molly Spearman is, but she's on there ex-officio

"Could" is not the same as saying our BOT currently has Clemson fans on it, which is what the OP is stating.
Yes, she got her graduate degree from USC. So did John Von Lehe, Jr, J. Edgerton Burroughs, Leah Mobley, and Rose Buyck Newton. Each of those got their undergrad somewhere else.
You typically support the college you got your undergraduate degree from. That is indeed the case with some of our trustees. Kick them off! Egerton is a friend of mine at the beach. Good guy. He is the exception.

They are also money donors to USC.
The thing is no one gave a hairy rat's behind until this past Spring/Summer when all this crap went on. Now it's some big conspiracy.

None of those got their undergrad at Clemson. Isn't that the gripe?
We're talking about Washington U in St. Louis, U of the South, Hampton U, Lander, and Converse.
Everyone cares now because last spring no one knew that we had an idiot AD that was supported by an idiot board that approved a 22 million dollar buyout for a fool that couldn't successfully coach pee wee football.

No. People just didn't care about the buyout when it was approved in 2017. It's not like it was some big secret.
That's not the gripe. He isn't stating that we have Clemson alumni on our board. He is stating that we have board members that are not first and foremost, Gamecock fans and that is a fact.
