IF you've been to Clemson you understand the Thursday deal, but the Friday is in deference to HS football and the key role it plays in so many southern towns. I cant imagine FSU and certainly not the texas teams being keen on it either, given the importance of HS football in those states.
Sure in the NE where often HS games have to be played Saturday daytime its not a big deal. But I have literally heard a HS coach say he would never recommend his kids playing at any college that would play on Friday nights.

An honest questions from an ignorant northerner: What exactly makes Clemson a desirable target for the Big12, if in fact they even are? From what I can see they have a national title from 30+ years ago and have been average to a little above average since. They haven't finished a season ranked in the top 10 in 20 years. Yes, they have some cool stadium traditions, etc. What gives?
