| Can we just calm down a bit? Clemson, UTK and u s Carolina are all great schools and are becoming increasingly popular. It’s best to shake off your view of whatever option of them you had in the 90s when you went to school. Things have changed quite a bit. |
| My kid really like Knoxville. We visited when school was in session, big football game weekend and it is really fun. |
Ranking doesn’t really matter to most smart kids who know they will be successful wherever they go. |
| U South Carolina did not make the CFP; Clemson did, but lost; Tennessee dis as well, but also lost so OP needs to expand his/her list of schools to include some winners. |
Says the parents of kids who can’t get in somewhere higher ranked. |
My kid goes to one of these schools, but we didn’t make the decision based on football greatness. For the people who keep bringing football, can you please start your own thread in the sports section? |
Lol what about UF or FSU or UMD? Winners? 🤭 |
Plus, south Carolina had Beamer Ball! I'm a Hokie and I'm so bitter 🤣 |
That’s nice. But the poster above is correct, it’s not the place, it’s the person. Maybe a higher ranked school eases the path to success but it’s certainly not the only path. Many duds who never learned how to work hard or have no discipline come out of T 50. It’s not an antidote to poor parenting. |
| Any new opinions on these and FSU? |
There was a FSU thread just a few days ago. No, nothing changed about these schools in the past 2 months
Let’s not go in circles having the same debates. |
|
My kid is leaning UTK as preferred Knoxville to Columbia or Clemson. Into FSU also…we have not visited yet.
|
| Prefer UGA |
So do I. My other kid is there. This kid was deferred |
