Other news and notes from around Clemson Athletics:

Jon Blau of the Charleston Post & Courier posted this piece today about the cost of the lawsuits that Clemson and the ACC have levied against one another.

These numbers might sound large, but they are merely the tip of the iceberg of what is likely to come. The eventual numbers for fees will still pale in comparison to the money that is on the line in the inevitable separation of Clemson University from the ACC.

The Tigers and the conference continue to file motions in both South Carolina and North Carolina as the two sides jockey for jurisdiction on the case.
