Clemson Board Of Trustees will meet later this week
With all the articles, posts and rumors swirling about Clemson’s status as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, it makes sense that any high level meeting at the university could involve discussion on the matter.
The Board Of Trustees does have a meeting soon, and athletic director Graham Neff is scheduled to discuss Clemson Athletics.
Agenda is out for regularly scheduled Clemson's fall 2023 board of trustees meeting, set to run Thursday-Friday. AD Graham Neff is scheduled to deliver an "Athletics Update" to the BoT's executive and audit committee Friday, a standard practice: https://t.co/vI1SKpenqJ

Fowler does follow up to elaborate that Neff is simply presenting to a committee, and not the full BOT. The agenda for the full board does not include anything about Neff.
Dabo Swinney gives updates on injuries
Head coach Dabo Swinney met with the press yesterday and gave this brief update on the status of Nate Wiggins and Antonio Williams.
Dabo Swinney says CB Nate Wiggins (knee) and WR Antonio Williams (ankle) looked good in Monday's workout and today will be a "big day" for them availability-wise. "We're hopeful, but nothing definite there yet." Both will be day to day for Wake Forest game
— Chapel Fowler (@chapelfowler) October 3, 2023
I would still lean towards neither Wiggins or Williams playing against Wake Forest, but it sounds like they are keeping the door open.
Swinney confirmed that freshman Tink Kelley will need surgery at some point.
Dabo Swinney says freshman WR/DB Misun Kelley has to have surgery soon on a lingering injury from HS, but it's "nothing long-term." Clemson was already planning to redshirt him. He's played in two games, including vs. Syracuse.

Clemson Football alum Amari Rodgers has been on the Indianapolis Colts’ practice squad this season, but he has just received a promotion.
The Colts have signed Rodgers to the main 53-player roster. Rodgers previously played for the Green Bay Packers and the Houston Texans. He was a key receiver for the Tigers from 2017-20.
