ACC SQUAD - The Clemson Tigers have FALLEN | Who can take their place?

·40 min·2 clips

Tom Fornelli said, “Clemson is dead. It’s dead. It’s not coming back.”

The episode opens by saying Clemson's football program has been declared dead and uses that as the trigger for the ACC roundtable. Alex Dono is joined by Kenton Gibbs and Brian Smith for a fast-moving conversation with a local feel. The panel treats the league as active and competitive, with enough tension to keep things loud. From there, the talk moves from Clemson into NIL spending. The hosts ask whether college sports are reaching a point where only the federal government can save them. That takes the discussion from team-level friction into the business side of the sport. The episode also teases ACC wide receiver rankings, with Brian Smith likely to have thoughts. The show moves back and forth between school rivalries and league economics. It is built to sound like an insiders' debate more than a polished primer. The energy is part breakdown, part argument, and part group chat. That makes it a good fit for listeners who already follow ACC storylines closely.
