Clemson refused call to move South Carolina game: report
Clemson declined a request from ESPN and the ACC to play football rival South Carolina on Black Friday and will instead play the game on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, according to TigerNet.
The network and conference approached Clemson with a plea to move its football game against the Gamecocks up one day, to the day after Thanksgiving this season, but were turned down by the school.
In an effort to sway Clemson’s decision, ESPN and the ACC agreed to scheduling concessions should it move the game, but that offer wasn’t enough for the Tigers to accept.
Those concessions included: to make Clemson’s game against The Citadel a noon kickoff on Nov. 23, move the South Carolina game to primetime, make the 2027 matchup against NC State a home game, have the Tigers play just two ACC road games in primetime, and have the Gamecocks host Clemson on Black Friday in the future.
To that, Clemson said thanks, but no thanks.
In response, the ACC said it was “disappointed” in a letter to the school.
“As has been indicated to you during the process, the Conference Office is disappointed in Clemson University’s lack of cooperation on this matter,” said ACC Senior Associate Commissioner for Football Michael Strickland in a letter obtained by TigerNet.
The letter continued: “As all ACC members know, it is incumbent upon the ACC and its institutions to work in good faith with ESPN on football scheduling issues. This cooperation maximizes the value of our relationship with our media partner and strengthens our collective future. Clemson’s decision not to do so in this instance is harmful toward that goal.”
After winning seven straight games in the Palmetto Bowl series, and 40 straight at home, Clemson dropped a 31-30 result to the rival Gamecocks in 2022, enough to be kept from the College Football Playoff.
The year following, Clemson returned the favor in a 16-7 decision in Columbia that prevented South Carolina from qualifying for a bowl game.
Clemson leads South Carolina, 73-43-4, all-time in the rivalry that dates back to 1896.

Watch Spartanburg nurse practitioner Chandler Nash talk about measles
Chandler Hash, a nurse practitioner at Parkside Health Center talks about measles and vaccine
Not long ago, it appeared almost certain that the measles outbreak centered in Spartanburg would surpass 1,000 cases.
Now that case total may be unlikely.
On March 27, DPH reported no new infections. The total number of cases remains at 997, where it has stood since March 17, when DPH reported one new infection.
There is currently one person in quarantine, according to the March 27 DPH update.
The measles outbreak began in October and grew somewhat slowly until the Christmas holidays. In January, the number of cases exploded—from 185 on Jan. 2 to 847 on Jan. 30.
In a March 25 media briefing, state epidemiologist Linda Bell was asked about the declining number of cases.
She credited an uptick in vaccinations in January and February, as well as DPH efforts to identify cases quickly and quarantine people who were infected or exposed.
If no new infections occur, DPH officials said the outbreak could be declared ended on April 26.
DPH officials explained that it takes 42 days with no new infections, “to declare an end to a measles outbreak. This is double the number of days for an incubation period (21 days) and a clear indicator of a broken transmission chain.”
Bell said DPH is asking school nurses and physicians’ offices to report any possible measles symptoms.
She added that health officials are keeping an eye on spring break — April 6-10 for public schools in Spartanburg County — as families might travel for vacation or to visit family members. People lacking immunity could be at risk.
“We remain vigilant,” Bell said, stressing that the two-dose MMR vaccine is the most effective protection against the spread of measles.
